Harrison to start tonight for Steelers; Patriots deactivate Floyd

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison, who had been questionable with shoulder and triceps injuries, will dress and start in the AFC championship game against the New England Patriots.

Harrison was one of three Steelers listed as questionable Friday. Running back Fitzgerald Toussaint, who missed the AFC divisional round victory against the Chiefs with a concussion, also will play. Tight end Ladarius Green will miss his fifth consecutive game with a concussion.

Receiver Michael Floyd is among the players the Patriots deactivated. He was picked up late in the regular season after being released by Arizona and had one catch for nine yards in the Patriots’ divisional round victory over the Texans last week.
