"Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been cleared to practice this week. The 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year suffered an eye injury Oct. 2 at Houston.

"Of course, it's an awesome step for (Harrison)," coach Mike Tomlin said during his Tuesday news conference.

Tomlin said Harrison will be evaluated during the week as the Steelers (6-2) prepare for their rematch with the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) on Sunday at Heinz Field."
