Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has rejoined the team this morning, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Harrison said he was contemplating retirement following the NFL fining him $75,000 for his hit on Cleveland Browns wide receiver Mohammed Massaquoi on Sunday.

Harrison had a private meeting with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin on Wednesday, after which Tomlin excused Harrison from that day's practice and meetings. Tomlin expected Harrison to return today.

"We had a meeting this morning, he (Harrison) and I did. It was a very productive one," Tomlin said on Wednesday. "I thought part of being productive and moving forward was excusing him for today and coming back starting new tomorrow."
