Returning in Week 9
Harrison (knee) was activated from the injured reserve list Saturday, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ohio State product missed the Steelers' last six games after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 1 win over the Jets. He was originally listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, but it now appears he's ready to return. With Cole Holcomb (illness) set to miss the Week 9 contest, Harrison is likely to play an expanded role in the Steelers' inside linebacker corps.
Oct 25, 2025
Remaining on IR
Harrison (knee) was not activated off injured reserve and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Despite logging a full week of practice, Harrison has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be activated off IR ahead of Week 8. Given his practice participation, the 2020 third-rounder has a good chance to make his return for Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 2.
Oct 15, 2025
Could come off IR for TNF
Harrison (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Cincinnati, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison suffered a knee injury in Pittsburgh's season-opening win over the Jets and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Monday and has been limited in practice throughout the week. That gives Harrison a chance to suit up Thursday, though he'd first need to be activated.
Oct 13, 2025
Ready to return to practice
Harrison (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison suffered a knee injury in Pittsburgh's Week 1 win over the Jets and has been sidelined since. It will be a quick turnaround for him to return to game action in time for Thursday's matchup against the Bengals, but he could be back more realistically for a Week 8 matchup against the Packers.
Sep 10, 2025
Lands on IR
Harrison (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Tuesday that Harrison wouldn't be available for Pittsburgh's Week 2 contest against the Seahawks, but following his placement on the injured reserve list, he'll be forced to miss the team's next four games. The Ohio State product played 20 total snaps (four defensive and 16 on special teams) and recorded two total tackles before sustaining a knee injury in the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Jets. Carson Bruener could see increased snaps as a rotational inside linebacker while Harrison remains sidelined.

Won't play vs. Seattle
Head coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday that Harrison (knee) will not play in the Steelers' Week 2 contest against the Seahawks on Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Jets. The injury is severe enough for the 2020 third-rounder to miss at least one week, and he'll work on recovering enough to be available for Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 21. Carson Bruener could see some rotational snaps at inside linebacker for as long as Harrison is sidelined.
Sep 7, 2025
Suffers knee injury, won't return
Harrison has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a knee injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison appeared to injure his knee during Justin Field's one-yard rushing touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Cole Holcomb and Carson Bruener could see a slight uptick in defensive snaps for the rest of Sunday's game due to Harrison's injury.
Mar 10, 2025
Joining former rival
Harrison is slated to sign a two-year, $10-million deal with the Steelers when free agency officially opens Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2020 third-round pick of the Ravens is staying in the AFC North after playing his first five seasons in Baltimore. Last year, Harrison served in a rotational role before earning the starting job in Week 11 and recording 36 tackles (15 solo) over the Ravens' final seven regular-season games. The inside linebacker ended the season with a career high 54 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks.
Jan 23, 2025
Career-high 54 tackles in 2024
Harrison finished the 2024 regular season with 54 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 15 games.
ANALYSIS
Harrison spent the first half of the regular season in a rotational role at inside linebacker while being a major contributor on special teams. He replaced Trenton Simpson as the starter in Week 11 against the Steelers, and over the final seven games of the regular season he accumulated 36 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks. Harrison enters the offseason as a free agent, and the Ravens will have to decide whether to bring back their third-round pick from the 2020 NFL Draft.
Dec 16, 2024
Leads team in tackles again
Harrison recorded eight tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 35-14 win against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Harrison started at inside linebacker next to Roquan Smith again in Week 15, and he justified his role with his third game in four weeks with six-plus tackles. He appears to be locked in as a starter for the stretch run of the Ravens' season.
Nov 26, 2024
Ravens' leading tackler Monday
Harrison recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) during Monday's 30-23 win against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was called on to step up for an injured Roquan Smith (hamstring) in Week 12, and he took the assignment in stride, posting a career-high tackle total in the process. He could be in line for a similar role in Week 13 versus the Eagles if Smith is still unable to play.
Nov 25, 2024
Will start Monday vs. Chargers
Harrison will start at inside linebacker against the Chargers on Monday due to Roquan Smith (hamstring) being inactive, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has mostly played on special teams this season, but he did play a season-high 37 snaps on defense in Week 11 against the Steelers and finished with six tackles (four solo). On the season, Harrison has logged 24 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks.
Oct 24, 2024
Logs full practice Thursday
Harrison (groin) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison injured his groin during the Ravens' Week 5 overtime win over the Bengals, which caused him to miss the following two contests. The 2020 third-round pick was limited during Wednesday's practice, but his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against Cleveland. Harrison has tallied 10 tackles (three solo) across five regular-season contests.
Oct 19, 2024
Won't play vs. Bucs
Harrison (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Harrison will miss a second straight game due to a groin injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Bengals. He wasn't able to practice all week, and he'll have to return to the field in at least a limited capacity if he wishes to return for Week 8 against the Browns on Oct. 27.
Oct 11, 2024
Missing Week 6
Harrison (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Harrison failed to record a stat on 40 total snaps (12 defensive and 28 on special teams) in the Ravens' Week 5 win over the Bengals, but it appears he picked up a groin injury in the process that will sideline him Sunday. Expect Chris Board and Josh Ross to see increased work as rotational inside linebackers in Harrison's stead.
Mar 11, 2024
Re-signing with Baltimore
The Ravens plan to sign Harrison to a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After playing primarily on special teams in his first four years as a pro with Baltimore, Harrison is now getting a second contract with the Ravens. He will probably still only play in a limited capacity on defense in 2024.
Jan 17, 2024
Full go at practice
Harrison (groin) was a full participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison opened the week as a limited participant Tuesday, but he now appears to be ready to go for Saturday's matchup with the Texans in the divisional round. The 25-year-old will be back in his role as a primary backup option behind Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen at interior linebacker versus Houston.
Jan 4, 2024
Won't play Week 18
Harrison (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Harrison missed time earlier this season due to a groin injury and potentially aggravated it in the Ravens' win over the Dolphins on Sunday. It's also possible the team is being cautious with the 25-year-old, considering Baltimore is already locked into the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Trenton Simpson and Del'Shawn Phillips will be candidates to see extra snaps in Harrison's absence.
Dec 13, 2023
Logs full practice Wednesday
Harrison (groin) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has missed each of Baltimore's past two games like tending to a groin injury, but his full participation to begin Week 15 prep is a strong sign that he'll be able to return to the field against Jacksonville on Sunday. The 25-year-old has played a rotational role on defense for the Ravens this season, logging fewer than 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps in all but one of his 11 contests.
Dec 10, 2023
Remains out
Harrison (groin) is inactive Sunday against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Harrison hasn't played since Week 11 and practiced in a limited fashion throughout Week 14 prep. He'll work to return Week 15 against the Jaguars.
Dec 8, 2023
Has chance to return Week 14
Harrison (groin) is questionable to suit up against the Rams on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has been nursing a groin injury that kept him out of action against the Chargers in Week 12. Baltimore was on bye last week, and the linebacker logged a trio of limited practices during prep this week. Harrison has filled a rotational role when active this season, playing under 50 percent of the Ravens' defensive snaps in all but one of the 11 games he's suited up for while also working as a core special-teamer.
Nov 26, 2023
Ruled out for Week 12
Harrison (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was a late addition to the Ravens' injury report after he did not practice Friday. He's mainly contributed on special teams and has accumulated 18 tackles (12 solo) in 11 games this season.
Nov 24, 2023
Doubtful for Sunday
Harrison (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old linebacker popped up on Baltimore's injury report late in the week, and he was unable to practice Friday, so it's no surprise that he's not expected to play in Sunday's contest. Harrison has appeared in 11 games for the Ravens this season, recording 18 total tackles and primarily playing on special teams.
Nov 27, 2021
Activated from injured reserve
Harrison (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will be available for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was struck in the calf by a stray bullet on Oct. 31 and has been on the NFL non-football injury list ever since. However, he will make his return to NFL action Sunday. The 2020 third-round pick played a prominent role for the Ravens to start the season, but he saw his snap count decreased for three consecutive weeks before sustaining the injury. It's unclear what his role will be against the Browns.
Nov 22, 2021
Designated for return
Harrison (calf) was designated for return from the non-football injury list Monday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was struck in the calf by a stray bullet on Oct. 31. He was placed on the NFI list on Nov. 1, and Monday was the first day he was eligible to return. Harrison played a prominent role in the Ravens' linebacker unit to start the season, but saw his snap count decrease for three consecutive weeks before sustaining the injury. He'll try to return Sunday against the Browns.
Nov 1, 2021
Lands on NFI list
Harrison (calf) was placed on the non-football injury list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was treated at the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries Sunday after being struck by a stray bullet, and he'll miss some time while recovering from the injury. Chris Board could be more involved as a rotational inside linebacker during his absence.
Nov 1, 2021
Recovering from bullet wound
The Ravens announced that Harrison was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries after he was struck in the left calf by a stray bullet during a gathering in Cleveland on Sunday, Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison is expected to rejoin the team in Baltimore on Monday as the Ravens begin preparations for a matchup with the Vikings following a Week 8 bye. Baltimore has yet to reveal whether the wound in Harrison's left leg is significant enough to affect his playing status for the Week 9 contest. The second-year linebacker has started in five of his seven appearances in 2021, tallying 22 tackles.
Nov 23, 2020
Tallies seven stops
Harrison made seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Harrison handled just half of the snaps on defense in Sunday's loss, but the rookie third-rounder still managed to finish third in tackles, including one for a loss. His top three snap counts of the season all came in the last three weeks, and he registered 20 stops in that stretch. Harrison could be crafted into a useful IDP asset if his workload remains high.
Nov 10, 2020
Takes advantage of increased duties
Harrison made 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
With L.J. Fort (finger) out, Harrison made his first start since Week 1, and the rookie third-round pick made the most of the opportunity. While he played just 49 percent of the defensive snaps, Harrison led the team in tackles and brought his season total to 27 stops. This could earn Harrison some added reps once Fort returns to action, which could be this week against the Patriots.
Nov 7, 2020
Available Sunday
Harrison (illness) has been activated by the Ravens from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was one of seven Ravens who had close contact with teammate Marlon Humphrey, who has tested positive for the virus. However, he has since been cleared and will be available for Sunday's clash with the Colts.
Nov 3, 2020
Placed on COVID-19 list
Harrison was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison and a handful of other players landed on the COVID-19 list as high-risk close contacts of Marlon Humphrey, who tested positive for the virus. All the players -- besides Humphrey -- could be available for Sunday's game at Indianapolis if they return negative test results over the next five days.
