Cody Rhodes tore his pec. 4 to 6 months. Harris tears his and its 6 weeks? Yeah I doubt that highly.

Really depends on severity.

I don't really understand how Harris could play with that injury.  Ball security will be a huge concern, either he's in pain or frozen.

Early on in his time here I remember him playing and hobbling with the ball not even able to run. 
 A lot can be said about Harris and you can question various aspects but his on the field determination and toughness is not surpassed.

All true but the physical strength to hold that ball would be severely compromised if the muscle is damaged.

It's obviously just a partial tear, if they think he could be back in as little as four weeks.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Poor Andrew. Dammit. 

I wonder if this is career threatening for him given his age

Sad to see Harris's season end this way. Great Bomber, future member of the ring of honour, etc, etc.

Better to have moved on a year too early than a year too late. As per usual, Walters and co got it right.

Harris played about 6 more games than I thought he would. Hate seeing it happen to him but you just knew it was going to happen. I have a hard time seeing him retire though because the dude just wants to keep playing. 

....and Father TIme remains undefeated. Andrew took him to the 10th round though.

And Harris was injured in a fairly routine tackle- not all that violent. Had he remained the feature back with the Bombers, it was pretty much inevitable he would have sustained a similar injury here. It was a tough decision for Walters and Co. but the correct one.

Any injury is potentially career threatening at his age, particularly since he is a RB.

After last year's injuries and him coming into camp out of shape it was really a no brainer to move on. As much as our sentimentality wants to block that reality, it was pretty apparent.

**** sakes....feel terrible for the guy. I mean, **** the Argos, but man I feel bad for Harris. If this is the end of the road, here's to a 1-day contract signing (with Matty Ice, please...) and well deserved retirement in Blue and Gold.

Well said, well said. Sums up how myself and I suspect many of us are feeling. Guy was great for us and key to us rebuilding and becoming back to back champs.

Once your pec is torn, apparently it's torn as it gets. Cody wrestled 1 more match with the torn pec.. fully torn and his reasoning was Dr's told Him it can't get worse. Guess Andrew must have a partial torn pec but at his age and sport.. 4 to 6 weeks seems pretty absolute best case scenario

You can have a partial tear, which is not the same as a full tear, where the tendon is pulled away from the bone. 

A partial tear can heal in a few weeks. 

Still, Harris needs surgery, so it must not be able to heal on it's own. That's probably closer to 6 months to heal.

I think this injury is going to really hit home with Andrew.....Many have said he is/was playing on borrowed time....Bomber management knew it and it's now come to pass...Time now for Harris to take a looooong look at his football future going forward AND I hope he sets things up to retire at home as a Bomber

I can't remember... was Harris humble on his way out of the Bombers?  Cuz I seem to remember differently....    Karma.

What do you have against the word yikes?

he's trying to cancel the word "yikes" !

If this is the end of Andrew Harris' career then what a dog **** way to end it.
