According to Gerry Dulac of the Post-Gazette, the Steelers don’t expect Harrison to play until at least after the Steelers week 4 bye.
Harrison continues to have difficulties with his knee holding up after strenuous workouts as the body of the 34 year old Harrison just isn’t holding up. A typical age for the body to break down for linebackers.
