Al, wishing you all the best for a speedy and healthy recovery. One day people will call you one of the greatest Packer Corners to ever play the position. Here’s hoping that day is still many years away!
September 22, 2008 at 4:06 pm

September 22, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Al,
Thanks for all of your hardwork and dedication to the Packers organization. We are blessed to have quality db’s in our secondary. Everyone will miss seeing you smacking balls out of the air. The young guys will still need your leadership this year. I wish you a speeding recovery and God Bless.

Praying for you man. God is with you and He is the ultimate physician.
September 22, 2008 at 11:14 pm

September 22, 2008 at 11:26 pm
You are the man on and off the field Al. Get well soon.
September 22, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Hey Al,
huge fan here! We need you out there – you’re the best at what you do! But before that, I hope you get well soon for the sake of yourself and your family first.
September 22, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Al you hurry up and get better .My son Vincent who attends Coral Springs Middle is a big fan of yours and loves watching you play.
Rest up and be ready for the playoffs. Wishing you the best.
September 22, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Hey man, best of luck to you. You’ve been nothing but a tough, physical, shutdown corner since you got here, and every Packer fan appreciates what you did for this organization.
I sincerely hope you can come back from this, but if in fact you don’t, please know you had an amazing career. Only going to one pro bowl is a joke. Stay strong, and give Tramon Williams some tips.
September 22, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Hey Al, best of luck in your recovery and Packer nation loves you, alot. I hope to see you on the field again this year but if not, I know you’ll be the Packers biggest supporter on the sideline. Again, we love you Al and you are in all our prayers.
September 22, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Mr. Harris,
Its always fun to watch you play. Believe it or not, me and my boys always watch you manhandle the best wideouts in the game week in and week out. You are a soldier, and a hell of a football player. The Green Bay defense is worse without you on the field, but none of that matters at this moment.
Get well. Stay up. Packer Nation loves and appreciates you.
September 22, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Hey Al, you’re in my prayers,man.
Get well soon, and go get ‘em, 31!
September 22, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Al,
I love watching you play, your fire your effort, your talent. Hang in there, we all love you man.
Thank you for picking off Matt Hasselback in the WC game. One of the happiest moments of my life.
You are one of the best – both on and off the field, and for this, I thank you.
Paramveer
September 22, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Good luck man! We will miss your physical prescence on the field every sunday. I hope to see you back out there.
September 22, 2008 at 8:54 pm
3irty-One! Stay up man I know it’s tough but I loved it when the Packers stole you from the Eagles. Way things go, looks like putting the hammer down stole you away from us for awhile. Talk to Leroy on that, he knows. Be positive stuff happens for some kind of reason though its unknown to us as of now. Hope to see you recovered soon and look to see you helping those young guys along like Taylor and Vincent did for you. Take care and you are in my prayers- Godspeed and many happy returns!
September 22, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Mr. Harris,
I hope you recover from your injury quickly, you’re one of my favourite players to watch on the Pack – it won’t be the same on gamedays without seeing you and your amazing dreads on the field! I hope you get well soon and can get back to shutting down the elite. Thanks for all the great memories you’ve already given me and I’m hoping for more.
“Even the greatest gotta suffer sometimes.”
September 22, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Hey Al, you’ve been my favorite player for about 6 years now. It really sucks that this happened. I hope u get well soon. I love kickin ass at madden with you. get well man.
September 22, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Al,
Good luck with your horrible injury. No doubt, the Pack will miss you and your NFL Best, bump n’ runcoverage. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Get better fast, but do it properly, don’t rush to get back onto the field. Your health is first. Get better #31.
September 22, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Get better #31, always in our prayers.
September 22, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Get well soon Al. You’re my favorite cornerback in the NFL. Always physical and making it tough for receivers. GB supports you!
September 22, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Hope you get better soon Al, know that Packer Nation is behind you and praying for you!!!
September 22, 2008 at 9:11 pm
~Al
Its gonna be weird not to see those dreeds and #31 not out there this week agaisnt the Bucs. Im a Packer fan and I live in Tampa and have tickets to the game and im not gonna get to see you. The Packers are gonna miss your physical style and your hard nosed play. Remeber to get well and get back on the field ASAP because were gonna need you in the playoffs.
September 22, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Al Harris, you’re a beast. I love watching you play every week and it’ll be rough if I have to watch the rest of the season without you, but I know you’re going to be there for the team.
Get well and get back out on the gridiron! I’m praying for you
September 22, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Hey Al, Footballs Future is really pulling for you; remember how dedicated the Packer’s fanbase is to its players, you’ve most definitely earned their support.
September 22, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Get well soon Al! Your in all the Packer fans prayers, your leadership the whole time you have been on this team has been nothing short of inspiring!
September 22, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Al,
Just wanted to let you know you’ve been a fan favorite and your efforts do NOT go un-noticed by many. Our crew at Footballs Future have been touting your abilities for years!
I really hope I can see 31 on the field again soon! Get well, heal quickly, fire everyone up. I really want to see you get that Super Bowl you deserve!
September 22, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Thank you for everything you have done for us all, you will always go down in infamy from the Seattle OT game. We expect you back to help us win a ring next year and ensure you earn your spot in the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame.
Best of luck with everything that happens for you. Our prayers are with you.
September 22, 2008 at 9:26 pm
31.
Work your ass off, because your a Green Bay Packer for life and we want you here this year and next.
September 22, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Dear Al,
I hope you get better soon! You are my favorite packer player. The fact that you could be out for the season, possibly career, is horrible for the entire Packers organization. I respect you as a player, you bring class and respect to the NFL.
Thank you, Al, for being who you are, and for contributing to the Packers organization.
Your Friend,
Brant McCarville
September 22, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Heal up. You do some great work on the field. I’ve enjoyed watching you play. Good Luck with your recovery.
September 22, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Al, get well soon. In my opinion you are one of the best corners to have ever played in the NFL, not just for the Packers.
I think with your toughness you will cut the recovery time in half.
I’m looking forward to seeing you on the field soon.
September 22, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Al…
Admire your desire to continue playing last night but screw football…this is about your health. We don’t understand you are real people under that uniform you put on for our enjoyment. You were worth the draft pick and the money given to you and then some.
I hope you retire from the game…you’ve given it so much and now it’s time for you to pursue other things. Perhaps, you could become a coach for us down the road when you get better.
God Bless…Thanks for the memories… I will NEVER forget watching you from a casino in Vegas take Hasselbeck and his “we’re going to score” routine to the house for the victory in the playoffs.
September 22, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Thanks Al for everything you’ve given of yourself to the Packers organization and especially the fans. You’re a class act, and paired with Charles are one of the best CB pairs in the NFL. Hopefully you recover 100% and speedy, for your own sake, not necessarily the teams sake.
All of us out here watching each and every packer game wish you well. Thanks for everything you’ve put into the organization. You’re a class act and a born leader by example.
Oh, and thanks for proving Matt Hasselbeck wrong a few years back…”we want the ball and we’re going to score.”
You’ll always be # (thirty) 1 in our hearts.
September 22, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Hey Al, best of luck to you and hope you have a speedy recovery. You’ve been my favorite player since you came to the Packers, won’t be the same without you, man.
Good luck to you, hope to see you out there again soon.
September 22, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Hey man, I just want to say I think you’re awesome. You’ve always been one of the best corners in the league in my opinion, you’ve shut down so many top men it ain’t even funny.
Keep the faith man, everybody who loves the Green & Gold is rooting for you. Good luck and I hope to see you on the field again soon!
September 22, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Al, it’s been awesome watching you play with the Pack. Thank you for your hard work and dedicating your talent and fire to our team! Much respect for you here. Hoping and praying for your health and recovery.
September 22, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Dude you are the most amazing CB ever and i love you i have pictures of you all my computer and i love your hair. Favorite Packer of all time baby 31 the dirty one we are so retiring 31.
I just heard you could have a ruptured spleen and i wish you the best of luck. This sounds really ugly and i hope that you are avaiable for late in the season when we get to beat those damn cowboys again. Good luck best of wishes Al. If you ever feel down just remember all of us here bc we dont care about anything but you and your injury.
September 22, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Hey Al all of Packer nation wishes you a speedy recovery and hopes to see you in uniform again as soon as possible.
You are one of the best corner there is and watching you play with such passion and heart is truly a joy. Get better and give Tramon Williams some tips please
September 22, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Hey Al, please get well soon you are a very valuable piece to the Green Bay Packers and are one of the best corners in the NFL, please get well soon and hopefully you will be back on the field next year, you are one of my favorite players in the NFL!
September 22, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Al,
Just want to say that you have been one of my favorite Packers since you joined the team. You have done nothing but give it your all on the field and for this I thank you. Even if this turns out to have been your last game, you certainly have had a great career and will always be a Packer.
Get well soon,
Michael
September 22, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Al I hope you get well soon ASAP the NFL wont be the same without a Bump and Run corner like you. You define bump n run. You given so much to the Packers organization. I hate to see you get hurt. I wish you a fast speedy recovery. FEAR THE DREADS!!!
September 22, 2008 at 11:09 pm
You are the toughest SOB on the Pack, and that’s saying something. Get well soon! We need your INTs for TDs!
September 22, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Hey Al,
Don’t let this injury get you down, you’re still one of the best and every football fan knows it. It’s gonna be rough not seeing #31 in the defensive backfield but I hope you come back same as old: bumpin’ n runnin’!
j-mak
September 22, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Al Harris,
Man I have been a cheesehead all my life and when you came to Green Bay, it just thrilled me even more. You helped amp that defense into the physical terror it is now. I hope you defy the odds and heal up so that you are back on that field bustin some receivers up. I wish you the best and 31 is in my prayers until you are back out there!
September 22, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Hey Al, you’re as good of a CB as we’ve ever had in Green Bay, and I appreciate everything you’ve given to this team and this organization. I hope that no matter the situation, you recover fully, and I hope that everything goes well. I’m hoping and praying that you’ll come through this, and I look forward to seeing you on the field again. You’re just too damn tough to keep down.
P.S.-If you have to miss time, please give Wood some tips, you know he needs them. Oh, and T-Will, Blackmon, Lee, and Bush, because you have a lot to teach, and I know that you can help make them better. Get well soon, and my family and I will keep you in our prayers.
September 22, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Al I hope you the speediest of recoveries. I heard some glum news about your injury and it sounds like you’ll be out the rest of the season. It hurts us Packer fans to know a player as good as you won’t be in there, and we know you’re hurting even more. Most of all we hope football aside, you recover fully and quickly from what sounds to be a very serious injury.
September 22, 2008 at 11:32 pm
good luck with the recovery Al, hope you’ll be doin alright…hopefully we’ll see you back on the field chucking receivers to the ground yet in 2008…take care
September 22, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Al,
Get better your a great player and I hope the best for you. Football should be the last thing on your mind right now. Your health is much more important. Get well soon!!
September 22, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Al,
You are one of the best press corners in the NFL and I hope all Packers fans get to watch you and Charles dominate for a few more years. I still get goosebumps watching you run back that pick against Seattle. God bless, Packer nation will be praying for you. Get well soon!!!
September 22, 2008 at 11:52 pm
May God bless you on your way to a speedy recovery, a return to the field, and a rewarding life after football.
September 23, 2008 at 12:31 am
You brought an excitement to the defense not seen since LeRoy Butler, and I’m honored to watch you wear the Green and Gold. Get better soon, Al, it really IS an empty backfield without you there!
September 23, 2008 at 12:37 am
Get better soon Al, thanks for all the memories you’ve provided us. I’ll never forget the pick 6 in OT against Seattle.
September 23, 2008 at 2:38 am
i don’t know if you’ll ever actually be able to see this… i hope so.
i hope things go smooth for you, i really do. hearing about players in the nfl go through tough problems like this is always a scary thing to hear, and is a good reminder of how much the sport really can wear down the human body, even in the fittest of players.
in my eyes you are definitely among the fittest and best. i really hope your recovery goes smoothly, because not having you around would be tragic. you have made the defensive game so much more interesting to watch and learn about.
from a packer fan since birth to a packer for life and beyond. you rock and i send you the best wishes i can. thanks for the memories al.
September 23, 2008 at 6:37 am
Al,
Best of luck and a speedy recovery, our prays are with you from all of us in your Florida Packer family.
God Bless,
C.J.Velek & Family
September 23, 2008 at 7:52 am

Get better soon man!
September 23, 2008 at 8:48 am
Hey Al,
Had the awesome opportunity to experience my first ever game at Lambeau on Sunday vs. the Cowboys. Even though you weren’t in the whole game, it was awesome to see you work on T.O. Take care of yourself so we can see you back on the field!
September 23, 2008 at 8:50 am
Dear Al,
I feel so bad about your injury.
Boy, will you be missed. I sure hope you can return this season. God speed!!!
September 23, 2008 at 9:25 am
Health first Al. You will get better and life will be good. Keep the faith. Packer fans, as well as opponents of the packers, respect you not only for your skills, but for your leadership and just being who you are. For now though, make sure you take the time to take care of yourself first. We will look forward to seeing you after your 100%.
September 23, 2008 at 9:39 am
Hey Al,
This is a huge blow to the Packer defense (as you are the most important player on our defense) but you have to take care of what’s right. Don’t worry about football right now, worry about your health. You will be in our prayers and your presence on the field will be surely missed. We love you!
September 23, 2008 at 9:47 am
#31 for life
September 23, 2008 at 9:57 am
I’m so sorry to hear about your injury. Get well soon and it’s much more important that nothing permanent comes from this, football can wait.
September 23, 2008 at 9:58 am
Whatever the future brings we are behind you and are praying for your health and future. That your recovery is rapid, complete and uncomplicated and that your future includes as rapid a return to football as soon as possible.
I wish I could do something to help you in your time of need. Let the public know if there is anything we can do to assist.
September 23, 2008 at 9:59 am
Al,
You are an amazing competitor, and your grace on the field is a joy to watch. Many good wishes for a quick recovery from everyone in our household. You will be in our prayers daily, and we hope that you will be well and strong again soon.
September 23, 2008 at 10:04 am

Thanks for everything you’ve done for the Pack!
I wish the best for you and a speedy recovery.

September 23, 2008 at 10:50 am
Al,
You have been my favorite player ever since the Packers acquired you, I love the way you play the game. I’ll wear my #31 jersey today in the hopes you have a speedy recovery. Good Luck.
September 23, 2008 at 11:06 am
Al,
Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery. I’m a huge fan of yours and love watching you play!! It won’t be the same without you. God bless you and yours.

AL! This cant be happening. I grew up watching you as one of the best, and were gonna miss you buddy! Don’t push it to hard, worry about getting 100% so you can retire with the pack! Your the best in the league, and your threat will be missed, but we don’t want you to compromise your health! I just want you to know i’ll be prayin for you man, your the best Al. Thanks for the years of excitement and commitment, and i look forward to watching you shut em down in the future. GET WELL!

Here’s hoping you have a fast recovery and can return 100% healthy. Good luck with the specialist.
September 23, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Hey Al,
Wishing you a healthy and safe recovery. I love watching you play football with tenacity and toughness, but right now I just hope you focus strictly on recovering and staying healthy. You truly are the best corner the Pack has ever had. Good luck with recovery and remain positive.
September 23, 2008 at 1:09 pm

September 23, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Get well Al. You will be missed this season and you’re needed for next season!
September 23, 2008 at 2:04 pm
AL,
#31 was always the number I wanted in youth sports. There’s something about that number!
Hmmm. Maybe Greatness? This no-name Miles whoever would not have caught 2 lucky touchdowns if you were in there.
Heal up. Praying for you!
September 23, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Al, first things first. Get healthy, even if it means sitting out the rest of the season. It won’t be the same secondary without you out there!
September 23, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Get well big dawg, we NEED you out there! get better!!!!
September 23, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Al,
Huge Packer fan from NY, travel to 4 or 5 games a year at Lambeau, always enjoy your toughness and stellar play and attitude. From the moment you arrived you gave us the leadership and great play we were lacking in the secondary. The pick against the seahwaks ranks among my favorite Packer moments of all-time…CLUTCH!!! Sorry I wont see you back there in 2 weeks when i come for the falcons game. Praying for a speedy recovery, get back soon, Go Pack Go!!!

I truly hope you will recover soon. You are an awesome athlete, and as a Packer fan I have enjoyed every game you have played. Youwill be greatly missed this season but just remember your health comes first.
September 23, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Hope you get well Al and wish you a smooth recovery. We’ll be needing the best CB tandem back.
September 23, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Al,

Al, you are turning 34 in December. How much time is left? We need to get you a ring NOW. Don’t sit out, take the risk….WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU.
Sorry, I know I’m being selfish.
September 23, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Al,
Get well soon! We’ll miss you out there.
September 23, 2008 at 3:38 pm
3irty1 your da man. Hopefully you can get back to the field soon, and we all know you put the press in press coverage, while you’re out please try to help out the youngsters.
September 23, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Hey Al, you are a great guy and it’s awful whats happened to you, whatever happens with your injury from this point forward just know that you will always be a Packer to me, your professional attitude and never back down mantra truly make you an idol for many football players. Heres hoping to the best

Have been a fan of yours sence your days in Philly. Love the way you play football and wish you a speedy recovery. GB will be lacking a not only a physical, reliable corner, but also one of it’s cornerstones of their defense. Without you, the D doesn’t work. I wish I could get my high school DBs to play the press and man like you do. Get well soon!

Sorry to hear about the injury. Don’t do yourself anymore harm please, we all know your a competitor and no one in the pack organization needs you to prove your toughness. Healing something this serious is crucial, good luck with the recovery and look forward to seeing you doing your thing whenever your better
September 23, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Hey Al,
It was great meeting you this weekend with (officer) Jeff ( from Florida). Thank you so much for your hospitality.
As I watched you go down, holding your flank, I knew it was a nasty injury. If I can give one piece of advice…..let this heal now and play for a long time. If you push it and reinjure, you may not be so lucky. Our prayers are with you and if you need anything from a medical standpoint, please dont hesitate to contact Jeff and get in touch. God bless.

All of us at PackerRats wish you the best in your recovery and return to shutting down WRs all across the NFL. Your toughness and lock down defense will be sorely missed as the season goes on. Take care of yourself, we fans will be here waiting for your return this year or next.
Best wishes,

Get Well soon! Thanks for the dedication to the Packers and the great effort each game.
September 23, 2008 at 8:28 pm
You are in my thoughts and prayers Al!!! You are always exciting to watch!! Not everyone puts their everything into playing like you do!!! I will pray for a swift and easy recovery for you!!!! I am looking forward to your return!!! God Bless you Al!!!!
Love, Becky
P.S. You were AWESOME in the Pro Bowl Last Year!! Congratulations!!!!! It was well deserved!
September 23, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Al,
Love your dedication, playing through injuries, and I also love watching those dreads fly as you shut down the “unstoppable” wide receivers. With this injury, though, just take the time to let it heal. If you get bored during your recovery, maybe you can stop in the locker room and terrorize the media? I love that…
Wishing you pain-free healing,
MJ
September 23, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Get Well Soon Al!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!! You are always so exciting to watch! Not everyone puts their everything into playing like you do!!!! I will pray for a swift and easy recovery for you! God Bless you Al!!!

September 23, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Hey Al!
I was crushed to hear that you were out with a medical problem, and I know your a healthy and very strong man and one of the greatest cornerbacks ever seen, so I know you’ll be just fine. Get better soon and your in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully we see you on the field soon in your prime spot as # 1 corner!!
Love your biggest fan,

3irty1-
For a man who hasn’t missed a game in his career, this may be tough to take – but you need to take care of yourself and your family for the rest of your life.
We admire your dedication, strength and spirit. Rest up and take care.

Hi Al. I am thinking of you and praying for you too.
My third grade students are too. I teach in a school not far from Green Bay, and I can tell you that you are much loved at our little school Al. Expect some get well cards soon!

September 23, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Get well soon Al, and take care of yourself! Thanks for the hard work you’ve put in over the years, and it will be great to see you healthy and ready to go again!
September 23, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Al,
Best of luck in your recovery.
As important as you are to our team on the field,
you are more important to us as a person.
Get healthy, then worry about football.
Your teammates will pick you up, in the tradition of the Packers.
Get well soon!!!!
Go Pack!!!!!
September 23, 2008 at 10:40 pm
God’s speed on a COMPLETE recovery. We will leave the lights on.
September 23, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Al I pray for your wellbeing….You are a great teammate….You act with class..Have shown us a great person….Get better…football is secondary to this and you will be missed and welcomed back….Much respect…..

September 23, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Hey Al, get well soon. I look forward to seeing you back out there again making more big plays for the Packers.
September 23, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Get well soon. You are a cog of the Packers. It wont be the same without #31 out there so get better, ya hear?
September 24, 2008 at 12:32 am
Damn Al….
You are a rock; You’ve been huge for the team and to the fans for so long now!
I don’t think any Packer fans thought this could happen to you!
Keep your chin up and get healthy….we wanna see you play ’til your Forty!
September 24, 2008 at 2:11 am
It’s going to be different not seeing you out there on Sundays. This seems like one hell of an injury man, but you’re a fighter and you’ll make it out alright. Any chance you’ll be ready by the playoffs? That’s what we’re all pulling for!
Get well soon, but don’t rush it, we need you healthy until your late thirties.
September 24, 2008 at 8:28 am
Al, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are by far the best in the league and the game won’t be the same without you there.Take care of yourself and remember it’s your health first! Keep your chin up, get better soon…you are a very strong man and will make a speedy recovery.

September 24, 2008 at 8:33 am
Al, here’s to a quick recovery man. Freak incident, hope you come back stronger than ever. You will def. be missed, nobody shuts down a guy at the line like you.
September 24, 2008 at 9:15 am
Take care Al. You’re a true warrior in every sense of the word and know that we all appreciate that about you.
September 24, 2008 at 10:03 am
Al I hope you have a safe and speedy recovery! I love your attitude and the way you play the game. Can’t wait to see you back on the field!
September 24, 2008 at 10:29 am
Al,
Get well soon! Also thanks for all you’ve done for us here. You are my wife’s favorite player and one of the main reasons that she now loves to watch football.
September 24, 2008 at 10:38 am
Al – You are one of the keys to our team. We will miss you. Hope you make a full recovery and are able to make it back for the playoffs (or if not, for next year)!
September 24, 2008 at 10:47 am
Here is to hoping for a fast recovery Al. Pray that things will be fine for you
September 24, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Al,
Your level of professionalism is refreshing…you are truly a pro’s pro!
Get yourself well first, then worry about football.
September 24, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I hope everything turns out ok and that you get well soon. take care of yourself.
September 24, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Al,
Take care of yourself first and foremost. Your long term health needs to come before the team in this case. I look forward to watching you play again whenever that may be. Stay positive. You’re in my prayers.
September 24, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Al,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Get better soon.
September 24, 2008 at 5:00 pm
AL HARRIS,
I just want to thank you for all you have done for The Green Bay Packers. We will miss you for as long as you are sidelined with your injury. I look forward to seeing you back on the field! Your performance on the field is amazing! GET WELL SOON!

Al,
Wishing you a speedy recovery, but be smart and listen to the medical advice. Playing football again too soon is not worth risking lifelong health problems.
Get Well Soon but take your time returning to the field even though we will miss you.

September 24, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I hope you get better soon. I appreciate everything you have done for the Pack, but be careful of your long term heath.
Good Luck!

September 24, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Sorry to hear about your Injury Al, I think that was amazing that you just asked them to take it out so you could beat the Bucs. But your health is the first thing, it isn’t worth the misery as you grow older, good luck on recover and I hope to see you on the field for the playoffs.
September 24, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Get well soon Al. You are the best bump and run corner in the league.
It’s going to be a tough time until you get better. Woodson can only do so much.
We need you man. Get better, so you can shut down wide outs for us once again.
September 25, 2008 at 12:05 am
take your time to get better buddy!
September 25, 2008 at 6:32 am
I hope you feel better real soon Al. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take good care of you =)
September 25, 2008 at 8:46 am
Hope you’re ok. worry about your health, then football.
September 25, 2008 at 11:48 am
Al,
You are by far the best coner in the NFL I Hope You get well soon so those recievers can fear the dreads again.
September 26, 2008 at 9:20 am
Healing is a state of mind. You must first realize that God is able. Let this take resident in your mind. THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD. God never fails. This is no time to ponder, why me. No time for what ifs and pity parties. You gotta keep them dreads up. Stay positive no matter what! This too shall pass. Fight the good fight of faith. Nobody said the road to 20 yrs would be easy. You must fight to keep your mind focused on the source of which all blessings flow. Healing, is a state of mind.
September 26, 2008 at 9:51 am
Al-
My buddy & I have been representing the SHARP CORNERS every Sunday. I wear my C-Wood and he always sports that #31! Nobody, nobody does it like you and Charles in this league. You asking to see if you could remove the spleen and play this week comes as no surprise. You are the new Iron Man on the Packers with Brett gone.
I can’t wait to see Operation Shutdown deployed later this year. Don’t worry, the rest of the guys will step up and take us to January – just be ready to come in and make QBs pay in the postseason!!
September 26, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Mr. Harris,
You have been my favorite player in the NFL since I started watching football. I grew up in the Philly area, so even though I’ve always been a Packer fan, I got to follow your career in Philly, too. You’re an awesome CB (the best in my opinion), but don’t rush things. I know you’re probably really anxious to play and help the team, but your health is more important in the long run. Be safe and get better soon.
Best wishes,
Josh Lynn
September 26, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Hey bro I hope your doing ok. Hope everything turns out good for you, dont worry about football, Tramon needs to bust out of his shell for a little bit lol. Your the True Ironman, Brett is a legend, you havent missed a snap either. Thats too bad, hopefully you get back out on the field. That defense needs you and charles to dominate. That reggae hat is pimp bro, wear that badboy more often lol.
September 28, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Wow 3 weeks is great news!!! Rest up buddy even 4-5 weeks would be awesome for going through the kind of thing you are. The defense needs you. So does the offense maybe you could line up and play some QB while Rodgers is out.
Good luck man again. Al harris for Hall of fame whos with me
September 29, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Mr. Harris, best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. You are a true warrior. The Packers can use your wile and physical nature. That “attitude” that says “Not here. Now now. Not me. Ever.”
September 29, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Good luck with your recovery. Wish you a speedy recovery. I will miss seeing you in the games.
September 30, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Al,
Me and my mom are praying for your quick recovery. I’m only eight years old, but someday I want to play for the Packers just like you.
Hurry back, we need those picks
Tommy.
September 30, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Al,
I’m so sorry that you have to be sidelined but do what they tell you to. I lost my spleen in ‘84 and have never had a problem, but I followed doctor’s orders. Football is not the same without you but your health has to come first. Your the best!
Ruth
October 1, 2008 at 12:03 am
Al,
You are the best in the league…take your time getting healthy…that’s the only way it will work.
October 11, 2008 at 11:08 am
Al,
Continue to rest and get better every day. Soon you’ll be back on the playing field and better than ever!
The Packers and all of your fans miss you, but your health come first.
Blessings for you and for your family.
October 13, 2008 at 10:40 am
You are fun to watch – such energy and spunk! Can’t wait to hear you’re back on the field in green and gold.
