Jack Bechta of THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL POST follows up on the Al Harris spleen injury from last Sunday, reporting that Harris is now seeking additional opinions on his condition from various doctors:

“Al may return this year and that this is not a life and death situation. No definitive return date has been set, but knowing Al like I do, he will heal fast and do everything in his power to get back on the field.”

One thing doctors though did rule out was Harris’ own plan for his return.

Bechta: “In addition, he is so determined to play that he has already asked one Doctor on Monday to ‘remove his Spleen so he can play against Tampa this weekend’. The Doc obviously made it clear that was not a good idea and the recovery time would be several weeks.”

Thankfully, the Packers medical staff dissuaded him quickly from that position - though Harris could theoretically live a healthy, normal life without a spleen.

Kind of like the Lions and Matt Millen.
