Despite speculation that New England Patriots' safety Rodney Harrison might play in the AFC Champioship Game against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday, the 34-year old veteran will not be available.
Harrison was injured in the final game of the season against the Tennessee Titans when he was blocked low by Titans' receiver Bobby Wade. Wade's helmet collided with Harrison's right knee, causing a severe MCL sprain. One report said that the MCL was torn, but recent reports clarified that it was only a sprain.
Considered by many to be the heart-and-soul of the Patriots' defense, Harrison missed all but three games of last season with a torn ACL in his left knee and was absent for six games this year due to a broken shoulder blade.
23-year old James Sanders will once again start in place of Harrison.
