Steve Feldman, the agent for Rodney Harrison, said the veteran safety will spend almost all of his offseason in the Foxboro area rehabbing with head trainer Jim Whalen and director of rehabilitation Joe Van Allen following November surgery to repair three torn knee ligaments.
That may not seem like a significant detail, but for more than a decade Harrison has returned to his Atlanta home to train. The fact that he’s willing to spend the long winter in Foxboro is a strong indication of how committed Harrison is to returning for the start of the 2006 season.
Harrison suffered three torn knee ligaments (ACL, MCL, PCL) against Pittsburgh Sept. 25. While the injury was severe and Harrison, 33, is on the back end of his career, the full expectation is that he will be ready to play by early next season, perhaps even for opening day. Feldman said it was “too early to tell†if Harrison would be ready for the start of training camp.
“I certainly wouldn’t count (Harrison) out at this point,†Belichick said on Sunday. “I definitely wouldn’t do that.â€
No matter what Harrison’s progress this offseason, the Pats figure to make a significant push for a veteran safety this spring.
