  "account": "Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is set to return to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. The team has initiated the 21-day activation window for Harmon, who was placed on injured reserve (IR) following a foot injury sustained during the team's Week 4 loss to the Cleveland Browns. If the Steelers do not activate Harmon by the end of the window, he will miss the remainder of the season. Despite Harmon's absence, the Steelers have shown remarkable resilience, boasting the best defensive rush success rate in the NFL since Week 4, outperforming the Detroit Lions by over four percentage points. Additionally, the Steelers rank fourth in total EPA (expected points against) since Week 4. Harmon's return arrives as the Steelers face a crucial period, with upcoming matchups against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10, a trip to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles, and consecutive home games against the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans. Fans can engage with their fellow supporters on the SB Nation app, where they can discuss the team's performance, watch live games with fewer ads, and participate in live chats during the matches.",
