It’s no secret that NFL players often hide or downplay the significance of their injuries. Broncos cornerback Chris Harris is just the latest.
On the Steelers’ second offensive drive, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw a short pass to receiver Sammie Coates. Harris struggled to chase Coates and missed the tackle.
After the play he slammed his helmet on the sidelines, the shoulder injury was back.
“It affected my whole game. It was so hard to play,” Harris said. “I preach on getting hands every time on somebody. It’s hard playing my game, and part of my game is taken away.
