Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison plans to play

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game with the New England Patriots due to shoulder and triceps injuries.

The 38-year-old Harrison returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. He said he plans to play in the contest, which would mark his fifth appearance in the AFC title game.

"It means the same it did the first year I ever played," Harrison told reporters. "I'm excited for every game."

Tight end Ladarius Green (concussion, illness) and running back Fitzgerald Toussaint (concussion) were also listed as questionable for Pittsburgh.

Green has missed the past four games and would have to clear the concussion protocol to play against the Patriots.

"It's up to the coaches. They decide what's best," Green said. I stand behind them fully on that because they've been supporting me the whole time."

New England listed seven players as questionable: receiver Danny Amendola (ankle), tight end Martellus Bennett (knee), running back Brandon Bolden (knee), linebacker Dont'a Hightower (shoulder), receiver Chris Hogan (thigh), receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) and defensive end Jabaal Sheard (knee).
