The Steelers are preparing for the possibility that linebacker James Harrison will not be able to open the season Sept. 9 at Denver.Harrison had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday to remove an impairment that has caused swelling since the spring. There remains optimism that Harrison could make it back for the opener.Shouldn't be long, coach Mike Tomlin said, although not estimating that in weeks. We'll see when we get him back here and start the process of working him back.
In the meantime, they are proceeding with alternate preparations.There's always concern when you don't have James Harrison, said linebackers coach Keith Butler. We'll see, I don't know. I have to prepare and get people ready.Harrison, a five-time Pro Bowl player and former NFL defensive player of the year, has been on the physically-unable-to-perform list and has not practiced since early spring because of his knee problem. He is 34 and has been the team's starting outside linebacker on the right side the past five seasons.

from Equipment.As to why the surgery was not performed earlier, perhaps even in June, it was assumed rest would cure it. But the Steelers suspect that Harrison may have pushed it too hard working out in his impatience to return to the team, aggravating the injury.Compounding the problem for the Steelers is the continued absence of Jason Worilds, the top backup at outside linebacker. He also has been on the PUP list with a wrist injury. Chris Carter, a fifth-round draft choice by the Steelers in 2011 who played mostly special teams as a rookie, has taken Harrison's place on the right side, so to speak.I don't know if you can replace James Harrison, Butler said. I don't know if you can do that. Right now, we're short until either Jason or James gets back. Chris has done a great job. He's improved quite a bit. I think he'll be ready to play. I don't know if he'll be ready to play a full game, so that's a concern.

Adding more layers of drama to the situation at outside linebacker is the venue in which the Steelers open the regular season. Not only do they not know if Carter can play a full game under normal conditions, they must play in the high altitude in Denver.
We might just sub a little bit more, said Butler, a former linebacker who played a decade for the Seattle Seahawks. That first game is going to be tough, it's going to be in Denver, it's going to be at Mile High. People say there's nothing to the thin air out there but that's [nonsense]; I played there for 10 years so I know what it is. Denver was in our division when I played and there's some acclimation involved, especially in the first half.So we have to have more than one team ready to go out there with our outside guys. I'm still looking to see who that guy is.Butler noted that there still is plenty of time for things to work out, that Harrison and Worilds could be ready to go to start the season. He's working on contingencies, just in case.
Stevenson Sylvester and veteran newcomer Brandon Johnson have practiced at the inside and outside positions. Undrafted rookie Adrian Robinson has a chance to make the roster but won't be ready to start.Butler could be forced to do something he prefers not to play starting inside mack linebacker Lawrence Timmons on the outside, as he did last season when Harrison missed five games and parts of others. If that happens, either Sylvester or third-round draft pick Sean Spence would move into his inside spot.I prefer not to put Lawrence back outside, Butler said. But that's always a possibility. What we want to do is put our best people on the field regardless who they are. It's my job to try to make sure they're prepared for any contingency we might have.
