Cornerback Al Harris is seeking a second opinion on an injury that could sideline him for the rest of the season.

Harris may have a ruptured spleen, an early diagnosis revealed on Monday morning, according to a source. He suffered the injury in the first quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys when Harris collided with linebacker A.J. Hawk. Coach Mike McCarthy said after the game that the doctors would not allow Harris to return to the game after blood was found in his urine.

The news was first posted by NationalFootballPost.com. Harris' agent, Jack Bechta, is one of the founding contributors to the site.

Harris, 33, is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance. If Harris is sidelined indefinitely, Tramon Williams would become the starter opposite Charles Woodson. Will Blackmon would likely be elevated to the nickel spot, although Jarrett Bush had the job for part of last season.

This doesn't bode very well for the green and gold at all.

I think this means they'll disrespect GB on the line for a couple of weeks, which they are already doing because of the loss to big D -- Which could give some value for us betters....... I've never really thought Harris was that great of a corner - Thinking Woodson was the better guy (And he did get 2 INT's last week). I know every time Dallas played GB, they've burned him badly with TO and others. Could work itself, as I'm sure they will switch to more of a zone coverage scheme on that side of the field, instead of running so much man-to-man. Not sure how their 3rd guy is either.
