Steelers | James Harrison likely to sit out Sat Aug 19, 03:45 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison likely will not play in the second preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, Aug. 20, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Harrison has participated in only one of the 16 practices during training camp.
| Footballguys view: Harrison is a seasoned pro and doesn't need every preseason rep. At 39 years old, Harrison has found the fountain of youth over the last three years with the Steelers. If healthy, gathering in around 5.0 sacks this year would be a sound projection for the veteran. |
