Steelers OLB James Harrison is doubtful for Sunday's game at Cincinnati because of a knee injury that has kept him out of practice this week. His absence should make it easier for OLB Jarvis Jones to find playing time in his return to action, though the 2nd-year player is not an IDP option.
released
The Steelers have released OLB James Harrison. Apparently the 2 sides couldn't agree on how much the soon-to-be 35-year-old is worth. Injuries have hampered Harrison for 2 straight years, but he remained a productive player when on the field. Harrison finished last year ranked #10 among 3-4 OLBs by Pro Football Focus. That included rating 3rd at the position against the run. He'll find a starting job somewhere. Cleveland would be a particularly interesting landing spot. The Browns are switching to a 3-4 front for 2013 and have former Pittsburgh DB coach Ray Horton as their new DC. Harrison could be a dangerous man with revenge on his mind. Fantasy football players in IDP leagues should certainly keep him in their preseason thoughts. Jason Worilds is the most obvious candidate to replace Harrison in the Steelers' lineup, though he'll likely face competition for the job.
won't take a pay cut
James Harrison's agent told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that his client isn't willing to take a pay cut to stay in Pittsburgh. He did say that the 34-year-old LB would be open to potentially reworking his current deal for cap relief. This is no real surprise. Harrison has always proved stubborn, and why shouldn't he be on this issue. His play hasn't suffered. Only injuries have claimed productive games. The Steelers, of course, have proved willing to dump veterans when they deemed it best for the club. It seems hard to envision the team jettisoning Harrison this offseason, though.
D will go without 2 starters
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers will face the Jets this week without OLB James Harrison and S Troy Polamalu. Both veterans are officially listed as questionable. Chris Carter started in Harrison's place against the Broncos. Ryan Mundy is expected to fill in for Polamalu.
