The Steelers could lose one of their bookend linebackers for Sunday Night’s game against the Ravens, but they also sound likely get one Pro Bowl linebacker back.

James Harrison should return to the lineup, according to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He fractured his orbital bone and missed four games.

UPDATE: Harrison later wrote on Twitter that he would only be able to practice this week, not play. This is in contrast to quotes from his agent that said Harrison would play. Perhaps the Steelers are just trying create confusion. Either way, Harrison says he won’t play.

Lamarr Woodley’s status is up in the air after hurting his hamstring Sunday. Mike Florio reports Woodley is “week-to-week” with his injury. (Also week-to-week: Florio’s inability to win a round of PFT Picks.)
