James Harrison would not classify his latest issue with his knee as a setback, even though the Pro Bowl outside linebacker is not expected to play Sunday night in Denver.
Harrison did not practice for the second day in a row Friday and is listed as questionable on the team's official injury report.
He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Chris Carter, who has been working at right outside linebacker since minicamp because of injuries to Harrison (knee) and top backup Jason Worilds (wrist).
This is the third time since spring that Harrison has had a comeback halted by a knee problem. In his other attempts -- once at minicamp, once at training camp -- his knee swelled each time he tried to cut on it.
Harrison said Friday he did not suffer a setback this time, nor is he worried about his knee.
"No, it's just sore," Harrison said. "The soft tissue just hasn't healed up."
