It's been a rough couple of weeks for the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense, specifically when it comes to stopping the run. They allowed 249 yards in a loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, and the Baltimore Ravens ran wild for 217 yards despite Pittsburgh winning 27-22 in Week 14.
There is no sugar-coating it; this team has been outclassed in the trenches in a way that fans can hardly stomach. That's why head coach Mike Tomlin's recent injury update is music to Steelers fans' ears.
Rookie defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is set to begin practicing in a limited capacity to start the week, his first time back on the field since injuring his knee in Week 12.
