The team will have a walkthrough on Sunday, and can update their status at that point.<\/p>\n<p>Harmon has missed the last two weeks with a knee injury and head coach Mike Tomlin said he was \u201coptimistic\u201d about his chances of playing this week on Tuesday. But then Harmon missed Wednesday and Thursday\u2019s practice sessions. He was a limited participant in Saturday\u2019s final practice session at Acrisure Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Yahya Black will likely start his third straight game if Harmon is unable to play. Starting defensive linemen Keeanu Benton and Cam Heyward have both also missed practice time this week with injuries, but they have been cleared to play against the Vikings. Esezi Otomewo, Brodric Martin and Logan Lee are available to provide depth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/11-2-2025-Steelers-v-Colts-3869-scaled-e1765678676967.jpg\" alt=\"Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington\" class=\"wp-image-150299\"  \/>Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington in a game against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 2, 2025. \u2014 Ed Thompson \/ Steelers Now<\/p>\n<p>Washington left last week\u2019s win over the Baltimore Ravens with a concussion, but has been trending toward a quick recovery from the league\u2019s concussion protocol. Washington was limited in practice all three days this week. The Steelers likely will not dress a fourth tight end if Washington can\u2019t play, with Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, Connor Heyward and jumbo tackle Spencer Anderson absorbing parts of his role.<\/p>\n<p>PlayerRosterInjuryWEDTHUFRIStatusWR Calvin Austin IIIActiveCalfFPLPFPIN<a href=\"https:\/\/steelersnow.com\/cause-of-lung-injury-for-steelers-olb-t-j-watt-revealed\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OLB T.J.
