Harris May Return Next Week

I don't see him starting Week 1, but he could be in there in the nickel and dime packages. I don't think he'll be put on the PUP list, therefore out 6 weeks, as some have speculated.

According to Bedard's twitter, he was doing some running on the field at practice tonight.

Would be a huge benefit just to have him on the field day 1, assuming he is in playing shape.

Everyone knows I am a big T-Will fan, but I would not be surprised to see Al never gain back the starting CB role.

How can you not fall in love with Al Harris? I say he will be the starting LCB game 1 in Philadelphia, where his career started.

He will be starting week one, barring a set back. If he is cleared to practice, that means he is cleared. Aka, FULL GO, and we all know harris has kept himself in prestine playing shape this entire time.

Sometime tells me they bring him along slower then usual just to get him back into his routine, but if he starts showing signs of being the Al of old in practice, and possibiliy in the 4th preseason game in a little bit of action, I see no reason t will stays starting over him, though I don't really know which is better overall - but either way having harris back sures up the nickle position.

Dear Bedard. He's been running for weeks. It's cutting he needs to be able to do before he can go full tilt. How can a professional sports writer not know that?

Did Bedard say anything about cutting or being full tilt?

Good news. AH is a gamer. Expect other teams to test with AH winning majority of battles.

We need Harris bad. I watched the game yesterday. Underwood got burned badly on two consecutive plays. The first, a 4th and 1. Underwood had obvious underneath coverage in cover 2. He let his guy run an out, didn't jump the route and gave up the 1st down. I said to my brother, "that is inexcusable. He's been here for two years. If he can't figure out to play the short stuff aggressively when he has underneath responsibility, then he shouldn't be on the field". Next day (today) I read McGinn's article where he chastised Underwood for that idiotic play.

It's disappointing because that's our fucking nickle cornerback until Al comes back. I was worried about the CB's. Now I'm terrified. We need to trade, even if the guy has low upside, we need a guy who is not a retard out there playing corner. He's had 18 months to figure out how to play the most basic coverage and can't get it. Enough of that fucking experiment. Next contestant please.

Yeah, he had a couple of ugly plays. I think the receiver actually ran a short slant on that play. Underwood played him with outside leverage--instead of inside. He has some talent. He made a couple of nice tackles and at least he didn't drop his gift interception. Overall, I wasn't thrilled with his performance. Lee had some bad plays too, but I did like how he looked on his return. He looked like he has some wheels. Hopefully, he can pick it up--because I think he's a bit more aware than Underwood.

It was the first time he has done it in public, on the practice field I think. Bedard is pretty aware of where AH is.

It will be interesting to see if Underwood progresses as the preseason goes on. The play where he gave up the reception on 4th down was a mental error, not a physical one. Working things out is what the preseason is about.

I don't know who might be available but I tend to agree.....if Harris shows he can't get back we need to do something....the last thing we need is to ruin a potentially great season because of one weak link at a critical spot.

Same could be said about the OLB position...something I'm more worried about then at the Cornerback position.

Good point.....if we put the opposing QB on his back every drop back we can live with bad CBs.
