Patriots to be Without R. Harrison in At Least Early Stages of Playoffs
The New England Patriots have suffered a significant loss for at least the early rounds of the playoffs: They'll be without safety Rodney Harrison because of an injury to his right knee suffered during Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans.
Harrison reportedly suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament that will keep him sidelined for 2-4 weeks. That would keep Harrison on the shelf at least for this weekend's first-round game against the New York Jets and perhaps longer.
The league ruled that the block on which Harrison was hurt against the Titans was clean, although Harrison and the Patriots had contended otherwise.

At least Harrison is man enough to come at another player straight up - never at the knees.

At least Harrison is man enough to come at a player straight-up; never at his knees.
He would hit you into next week, but wasn't trying to cripple you and end your career.

uh - except the NFL reviewed it and said Wade's hit was legal and clean. Like Fisher said - receivers block low in the NFL all the time. It isn't unusual and it isn't dirty.
so looks like this is just another example of the Patriots whining so that they can feel like the underdogs.
and please - Harrison would do anything if he thought it would help him get an edge... that's the definition of "dirty player" BoltsFan... duh.

Whivh is very much ironic, since Harrison was voted the dirtiest player in the NFL by his peers.
Of course he'd say Wade was trying to hurt him - because that's the way Harrison himself plays...
