James Harrison signaled today that his left knee came through Monday's practice without any negative reaction.

Harrison practiced for the first time on Monday after missing the entire preseason with swelling in the knee that required arthroscopic surgery Aug. 15. He said after that practice that today would be important, based on how his knee reacted to the stress. If it "blows up," he said, "that's it."

But afer Harrison showed up for treatment on the knee Tuesday, he gave the "A-OK" sign when he was asked how it reacted. He wore no brace or bandage of any kind on his knee.

Mike Tomlin said at his press conference today that he does not have expectations one way or the other as to the Pro Bowl linebacker's ability to play on Sunday for the season opener in Denver.

Don't play him if he's not 100% healthy I'd much see him play the last 10 games of the season than the first 4 games of the season and then be out for the whole year
