As you all know, Al’s career was in jeopardy earlier this season when he was diagnosed with a lacerated spleen.
But if you know anything about Al, you know he’s the most determined athlete on the planet. And when he returned from the injury weeks later, many people were surprised.
The experience gave Al a new perspective this Thanksgiving season, and the Wisconsin State Journal wrote about his return from injury, his future with the Packers and more. Here’s a sample:
“I am extremely thankful. Extremely thankful,” Harris said as the Packers prepared for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field. “It was scary. It just made me put my life in perspective. This (football) is only a small piece, but an important piece. I appreciate it a little more.
“It was scary. I thought it was over for the year, and being that our team is going in a younger direction, that it could be it here.”
