It sounds like there's a good explanation for why Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker James Harrison didn't turn in his trademark intimidating performance during a Super Bowl loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Harrison announced on his official Twitter account that he's scheduled to have surgery Monday and will be sideline for four to six weeks.
Under that time table, it sounds like he's having some kind of arthroscopic procedure.
Harrison hasn't disclosed what kind of surgery he's having, but he did hurt his right shoulder against the Baltimore Ravens during an AFC divisional playoff victory.
"Looks like I'll be taking off more time then I thought," Harrison wrote. "Ill be having surgery on Monday, should only be down 4 to 6 weeks."
Harrison had one sack in the Super Bowl, but didn't provide a consistent presence as far as getting penetration in the Packers' backfield as quarterback Aaron Rodgers picked apart the Steelers' defense.
