Chris Harris - Gametime Decision for Sunday

I'm betting that he'll tough it out and play but this is definitely a nice advantage for us, whether he is out or playing hurt.

He's going to be a game time decision, just like Gronk, Hightower, Jones, Collins, and Edelman will be. No one is going to miss this game unless playing on the injury will caused permanent damage. Just look at how far Maclin made it with and injury that usually takes several weeks to heal.

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway told ESPN that Harris will be a game-time decision with a severe bone bruise in his shoulder. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports, however, that Harris is expected to play even if the coaches aren't sure how many snaps he can handle.

If he plays it seems likely he will play poorly

He's going to play according to this report

He will play..but no where near 100%. 1 big hit and he may be hurting quite a bit

think ******* will be playing.

if they go low on gronk then bill should tell our defenders to do the same exact thing. an eye for an eye.

Have a run play and let gronk block him into the ground on that shoulder. Especially for saying he will target gronks knees

Shoulders don't just get much better without rest. He will be limited in what he can do, especially after a few tackles

If @Broncos relying on #Harris, could mean trouble. By video, axillary nerve contusion. Not likely to heal by Sunday

Talib > Harris

If this is Elway playing tricks, then well played.

His shoulder must be pretty bad.

Total BS by the horse-faced head horse himself.

Healthy or not he's Edelman's *****.

That post has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Talib is a completely different player form Harris, is longer and cannot cover an Edelman type WR.

If Wade Phillips "goes full ******" and puts Talib on Edelman, the Patriots are guaranteed 40+ points on Sunday.

Harris is the only one on that squad who can get down and stay with Edelman. If Harris cannot go full strength, the entire tenor of that game changes. They would then put someone else on Edelman, but fnord, I can assure you it would not be Talib.

I wonder if they'd consider putting Talib on Gronkowski with some help. I remember what Talib did to Jimmy Graham, and while Graham is soft compared to Gronk, he has similar speed and size. Talib is a physical corner who excels against bigger receivers. Seems like a waste to put Talib on someone like LaFell, who is unlikely to contribute anyway. The Jets put Revis on Gronkowski quite a lot in the last game and Brady didn't want to go anywhere near that.

I don't have any idea what you are talking about, but whatever you're smoking, be safe with it.

He's fine and he'll play. This has been a smokescreen from the beginning.

Who gives a crap......the pats are crushing the Broncos......everything else is just noise

I say run the ball with S. Jackson through him and hit his shoulder to test where he is.
