Harmon Questionable; Skowronek, Key Veterans Cleared

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Limited in the first couple of practices this week, Steelers defensive lineman Derrick Harmon went full on Friday (albeit an unpadded practice) and is listed as questionable for Sunday night in Cincinnati.

Asked if he will play, Harmon said ‘we’ll see’.

Harmon had steadily been improving before the injury, that included the strip sack to end the first Bengals game. As for what he wanted to accomplish this week ramping back up?

“Making sure my footing felt good, that I can still strike blocks and fine tuning the playbook,” Harmon said.

Asked if he did what he wanted, he said ‘yes’.

Out the last couple of weeks with a calf injury, special teams star and potential wide receiver help Ben Skowronek (calf) practiced full all week and is cleared to play.

Also listed as ready after a full week of practice is Steelers slot corner Brandin Echols (hamstring) and back-up corner Doneiko Slaughter (hamstring).

Safety DeShon Elliott (ankle) was limited on Wednesday, but full the last two days and cleared.

All three veterans that missed time due to rest—DT Cam Heyward, OLB TJ Watt and TE Darnell Washington went full on Friday and good for Sunday.
