Much of the focus and attention on the running game in Pittsburgh centered on second-year running back Najee Harris entering the 2022 season, as Harris came into OTAs and training camp looking much bigger — in a good way — than he did the year before.
As a rookie, Harris carried a heavy workload, so entering his second season he bulked up a bit to handle the workload even better.
Then, early on in training camp in a padded practice, Harris hurt his foot, limping off. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated Harris was stepped on, but it was later revealed that Harris was dealing with a Lisfranc injury, which kept him out of practice and out of the lineup through the preseason.
