Failed Physical For Lions' Harrison Revealed Brain Tumor

There's a good chance that the required physical before the trade that would have sent Detroit Lions RB Jerome Harrison to the Philadelphia Eagles may have saved Harrison's life as it revealed a brain tumor that now looks like it was found in time.

Keep Jerome Harrison in your prayers.

I hope he gets all the way healthy… and it’s about time a cure was found

that’s nuts. All the best to him. Hopefully this was an example of great luck and he will recover fully.

Jerome Harrison last week.

Jokes aside, I wish him to get healthy quickly.

Its non-life threatening so he should be fine.

Harrison will be out for the season, though. Sucks for the Detroit considering they needed Ronnie Brown because Best’s career will be relatively short given his injury history.

I was at the hospital for about a month but when it came time to actually have surgery it was about a 8 – 10 hour procedure
