James Harrison

Not long after his agent said "Unless something happens, he will play this week," linebacker James Harrison said he will not. Harrison, in a Twitter message this evening, said that he "Saw the doctor today. Looks like I won't be playing this weekend but at least I'm cleared for practice. " Earlier, agent Bill Prise said "I think that is possible" that Harrison would play against Baltimore Sunday night. "Unless something happens, he will play this week," Parise said.

It wasn't easy for Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to watch the Ravens win the Super Bowl two weeks ago. He told The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday that “it hurts to see the Ravens win anything.” And that is especially true because he feels the Steelers could have been the ones playing in the Super Bowl. “Do I feel we could have done the same thing they did? I do. I do,” LeBeau said. “It didn't break that way.” The longtime defensive coordinator and zone blitz guru pointed to injuries while bemoaning a lost 2012 season in Pittsburgh.

The NFL should be ashamed of itself for suspending Ravens safety Ed Reed for a game because of his hit on Pittsburgh receiver Emmanuel Sanders in the third quarter of Sunday night's game. It's one thing to fine a guy several thousand dollars, but another when you start taking away game checks. That's when you start messing with his livelihood and his family. The NFL has crossed the line. I could see if Reed was another James Harrison, the Steelers' outside linebacker who intentionally tries to hurt players.

Susan Hurley Harrison's legal trail has vanished nearly as mysteriously as she did.No criminal charges have been filed in the killing of the Ruxton socialite, who disappeared in 1994 and whose remains were found two years later in a remote part of Frederick County. Last week, a $17 million wrongful death suit, brought by her children against her estranged husband, James J. Harrison Jr., was settled privately.And now, many of the documents in the civil case file have been removed from the Baltimore County courthouse and returned to lawyers in the case -- removing even those details from the public eye."

Susan Hurley Harrison, the Ruxton woman whose skeletal remains were found last month in rural Frederick County, died of head injuries, the state medical examiner said yesterday in ruling her death a homicide.But even with the autopsy results, investigators acknowledged that they still do not know where she was killed or what weapon was used."We always felt this was a homicide, and we have operated that way since the beginning," said state police spokesman Michael J. McKelvin. "This is another piece of the puzzle."

No LaMarr Woodley. No James Farrior. No James Harrison. Problem. Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, whose bag is full of tricks and treats, may have to pull many of them out this week. The meeting room for Steelers linebackers could move to a Red Cross tent. Such is the state of their injuries that coach Mike Tomlin talked Tuesday about the possibility of playing all kinds of different defenses Sunday to compensate. It's not a good time to be losing your best linebackers when the Baltimore Ravens come to Heinz Field for a rematch and perhaps the showdown that ultimately will determine the AFC North Division champion.

Steelers WR Mike Wallace vs Ravens CBs Cary Williams and Corey Graham: Wallace might be the fastest wide receiver in the NFL. If quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was playing, the Ravens would be in serious trouble. They still could get burned a lot with Byron Leftwich replacing Roethlisberger. Williams has improved in recent weeks and Graham is more physcial than former starter Jimmy Smith. The Ravens have to neutralize Pittsburgh's speed. Edge: Steeleers. Steelers OLB's Lamarr Woodley and James Harrison vs Ravens OT's Michael Oher and Kelechi Osemele: Two years ago, the Steelers would dominate this matchup, but Harrison has had knee problems and Woodley is struggling against the run. The Ravens should be able to attack Harrison directly and Osemele has to seal off the back side for the running game to be effective.

Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was voted as the second “meanest” player in the NFL in Sports Illustrated's weekly player poll. He trailed Steelers headhunter linebacker James Harrison by a wide margin in the voting. Lewis garnered 15 percent of the votes from the 287 NFL players who responded to SI 's survey, and if Jets tight end Dustin Keller was one of those 287 players polled, I'm guessing he cast his vote for Lewis . Harrison, whose fines for illegal hits last season spanned to six figures, received 35 percent of the vote from his peers.

Each morning, Monday through Friday, I'll hook you up with reading material to skim through as you slug down coffee and slack off at the start of your workday -- that way I'll have an excuse to do the same at the start of mine.   Running it back: Steelers linebacker James Harrison blasted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the play of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the Super Bowl. ... Steelers safety Ryan Clark doesn't think that Ravens-Steelers is a real rivalry . ... In the post-lockout frenzy, the Ravens will have to focus on these five priorities , which include finding a pass rusher.

ARLINGTON, Texas — No spotlight is brighter than the one that will shine Sunday at Cowboys Stadium. And there is no cause the NFL has been more vocal about than player safety. So it is ironic the NFL's poster boy for violent hits will be playing in this spotlight. Steelers linebacker James Harrison will have opportunities to make Packers crumble. He will have chances to make millions of fans cringe and say "ooooohhh" in unison. And he will have occasion to make the blood of Commissioner Roger Goodell boil.

The most vicious hitter in the NFL — the man fined $100,000 this year for being too violent on the football field — is tired of talking about how hard he hits people. He's weary of fielding questions from people wondering whether he's being singled out by the referees, or if he'll change his style of play. James Harrison replies to these queries with a menacing glare. The Steelers linebacker has little patience for this debate, and he does not suffer fools gladly. He hits people for a living and that is not likely to change.

A day after several Pittsburgh Steelers accused Ravens right guard Chris Chester of intentionally trying to injure outside linebacker James Harrison , Chester said the Steelers are misinterpreting what happened. On the play in question in Sunday night's 13-10 loss to Pittsburgh, Chester lined up on the left side of the offensive line for an extra-point attempt. Chester plunged forward before the ball had been snapped and collided with Harrison. Harrison and several of his teammates said that Chester was deliberately aiming for Harrison.
