A future opponent of the Pittsburgh Steelers will be shorthanded when they meet later this season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will take any advantage they can get with a long season still ahead, and that's exactly what they got on Friday.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport , Jacksonville Jaguars starting left tackle Anton Harrison was revealed to have suffered a torn ACL during his surgery yesterday and is now out for the rest of the season.

It's certainly a blow to the Jaguars offense, which has played quite well thus far this year. Harrison has served as quarterback Trevor Lawrence's blindside blocker since the team selected him in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
This season, Harrison has allowed 13 total pressures in pass protection, including two sacks and four hits allowed to opposing pass rushers, per Pro Football Focus .
However, the Jaguars will now have to rely on veteran Walker Little, a second-round pick in 2021, to fill in for Harrison the rest of the way.
That should serve as great news for Steelers outside linebackers T.J. Watt , Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig .

The Steelers pass rushing trio has already combined for 9.5 sacks through the first six weeks of the season.
They should be able to significantly pad those numbers when the team heads to Jacksonville in Week 14.
The game is set to be played on Monday Night Football with an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
