Steelers first-round pick Derrick Harmon carted off with knee injury
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Derrick Harmon was carted to the locker room after the defensive end injured his knee Thursday night in the preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. Harmon's knee twisted awkwardly as he was engaged with a Carolina blocker on a pass rush. He was in tears with a towel over his head as he rode on the back of a cart to the locker room. The Steelers had no immediate update on the injury except to say that Harmon would not return to the game. The former Michigan State and Oregon player was the 21st pick in April. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin elected to start a handful of starters on both sides of the ball against the Panthers, including Harmon. The rookie had been expected to start this season on a defensive line with Cameron Hayward and Keeanu Benton. Veteran Isaiahh Loudermilk is expected to see more playing time if Harmon is out a significant amount of time. The Panthers did not play their starters. ___ AP NFL:

Bill Belichick takes apparent jab at Robert Kraft, Patriots, calling North Carolina 'more cohesive'
North Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick took an apparent swipe at the New England Patriots organization while explaining how he was acclimating to college football approximately 10 days before the Tar Heels opening the 2025 season versus TCU. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] While speaking to the Boston Globe's Ben Volin, Belichick compared his initial experience with college football to his 49 years coaching in the NFL. 'It's a much more cohesive, and I'd say unified, view of what we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it,' Belichick said. 'It's a lot of football, and there's not much in your way.' However, Belichick didn't just leave his thoughts there and let people interpret them as they might. He drilled down a bit further to get more specific about the obstacles he dealt with in the Patriots' front office. Decisions had to go through many tiers, cluttering the process with too many voices, starting with team owner Robert Kraft and his son, team president Jonathan Kraft. 'There's no owner, there's no owner's son, there's no cap, everything that goes with the marketing and everything else, which I'm all for that. But it's way less of what it was at that level,' Belichick continued. 'Generic NFL teams, you have the owner, president, general manager, personnel director, college director, pro director, cap guy, some other consultant, then head coach," he added. "I'd say when we had our best years in New England, we had fewer people and more of a direct vision. And as that expanded, it became harder to be successful.' Belichick was pretty clear on what he viewed as the problems in the Patriots' management structure that prevented him from continuing the success that he achieved during his first 20 years as head coach. Too many cooks in the proverbial kitchen. Volin has covered the Patriots since 2013 and likely established a comfort level with Belichick over 11 years of working with him. Would the coach have been so forthcoming with another reporter? Considering the difficulties he's had with the media since taking the job in Chapel Hill, with his girlfriend Jordon Hudson taking a key role in those interactions, Belichick has been rather quiet recently. Perhaps the coach was looking for the right opportunity to point some criticism at the Patriots after the two sides parted ways following the 2023 NFL season. Letting Belichick move on didn't look great after his replacement Jerod Mayo was fired after just one season. The Patriots changed their front office structure upon hiring Mike Vrabel, the former Tennessee Titans head coach who played under Belichick and won three Super Bowls. Yet there seems to be just as many hurdles to clear for football decision as the setup that frustrated Belichick. Another of Robert Kraft's sons, Josh Kraft, left his post on the team's board of directors. Ryan Cowden joined the front office as vice president of player personnel, working under executive VP of player personnel Eliot Wolf. Pat Stewart remains as director of pro personnel with senior personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith. Belichick may look at that hierarchy as similar to what prevented him from continuing his success in New England, even if some names have changed. He obviously still harbors hard feelings about it. Whether or not Vrabel is able to navigate that bureaucracy better than his mentor did remains to be seen.
