There was even a week where he didn't dress out at all and he has only seen the field on 40 snaps throughout the season. There is a chance that the Steelers could bring him back though as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests.

If this is the end, Harrison leaves Pittsburgh with 82.5 career sacks, eight interceptions and 570 tackles. Among active players, he is eighth in sacks.
