The way New England started the season, you wouldn't think they'd need any more help. But they're getting it, perhaps as early as this week.
Rodney Harrison, who was suspended for the first four games after violating the NFL's steroids policy, is back practicing. The Patriots have been granted a two-week roster exemption, and it's uncertain if he'll be in the lineup Sunday when New England hosts the Browns.
My sense is that if Harrison shows enough in practice that Bill Belichick will elevate him to the active roster.
Harrison was caught up in a steroids sting being conducted by the Albany (N.Y) District Attorney's office. His name surfaced on a list of people purchasing HGH on the Internet.
