Linebacker James Harrison will miss several weeks due to a orbital fracture in his right eye, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced.
Harrison will have surgery on Wednesday and Tomlin expects Harrison to be out for an extended period of time.
To make matters of worse, 2nd year linebacker Jason Worilds will miss Sunday’s game due to a quad injury.
The Steelers are planning to start Lawrence Timmons at ROLB and move Larry Foote into the starting lineup at inside linebacker.
