The Steelers are getting closer to gaining some defensive depth as midseason approaches. Head coach Mike Tomlin provided updates on linebacker Malik Harrison and cornerback Cory Trice Jr., both currently on injured reserve, in his Tuesday press conference.

Harrison, a former Raven who was signed to a two-year deal this offseason, went on IR following a knee injury in Week 1. The Steelers opened his 21-day practice window on Oct. 13, meaning he has just under two weeks left to be activated to the team’s roster.

“He’s working,” Tomlin said on Tuesday when asked if the team was close to activating Harrison. “He’s at that stage, in that 21-day window where he’s working. We’re just going to watch his work and let the quality of his work be our guide whether or not we consider him.”
