Harrison Surgery Rescheduled For Next Monday

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison tweeted yesterday that he was running a fever and too sick to have surgery. He is now scheduled to have shoulder surgery next Monday.

Harrison's agent, Bill Parise, told our news partners at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the surgery Harrison is undergoing, is "very routine."

He also told the Post-Gazette that Harrison should resume training in four-to-six weeks after the surgery is performed.
