Rodney Harrison, the hard-hitting but injury-plagued safety of the New England Patriots, appears to be done for the season — and perhaps his career. The emotional of leader of the Patriots had to be carted off the field at the end of the third quarter with a knee injury, as cheers from the Gillette Stadium crowd raining down on him as he was riding off. Harrison gave a brief wave of recognition, appearing as though he was fighting back tears. Harrison may have been waving goodbye. The 15-year veteran is in the last year of his contract with New England, and at 35 years old, it may be too much for him to come back from another season-ending injury. Harrison missed much of the 2005 season after tearing all three major ligaments in his knee against the Steelers. "We'll have to see how that is. It doesn't look too good," Bill Belichick said of Harrison's injury after the game.
The injury to the 35-year-old Harrison is his fourth in four years.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Patriots contact John Lynch. Lynch is the kind of safety/linebacker needed to fill the role left by Harrison.
