He might have missed a month due to a knee injury suffered in the preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers, but Pittsburgh Steelers rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon didn’t look like he missed a beat in his NFL debut last Sunday.

Harmon was an impactful pass rusher and turned in some good reps against the run, helping the Steelers to a much-needed 21-14 win in New England.

Harmon had his first career sack, too as the Steelers improved to 2-1.

Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said Thursday the rookie picked up right where he left off in training camp.
