There is some hope Al Harris could see the field this year. According to the National Football Post, all is not quite lost yet.

"As of today, this is what I know:

Al has suffered a laceration of the spleen on the collision he had with AJ Hawk.

The CT scan did show some damage and bleeding.

Al is currently in the process of getting a 3rd and 4th opinion by two prominent surgeons. As of today, the time line is that Al will be re-evaluated and scanned again in a few weeks.

If there are no additional concerns from the new opinions, which I hope to receive in the next 48 hours, then Al can start “non-impact” workouts such as elliptical or pool work in one weeks time."
