Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, OLB James Harrison conceded after the 3rd exhibition game that he's not all the way back to game shape yet. Harrison, who had two offseason surgeries on his back, was noticeably winded at times against the Falcons. He says he'll "eventually" get back to full strength but doesn't know when that will be. Notably, the Falcons attempted 42 passes in the 1st half of that game. That would keep a pass rusher pretty busy. This is certainly cause for concern among IDP owners, especially considering Harrison is 33. He'll make for a risky Week 1 start, but a potential matchup with inconsistent new Raven LT Bryant McKinnie could give us a good look.
