Harrison's first day a good one: Marvin Harrison's knees are healthy enough to play football again. The eight-time Pro Bowler seemed to enjoy himself Friday, defying the doctors' early prognosis by returning from offseason knee surgery for Indy's first training camp practice. As he trotted onto the field in his familiar No. 88 jersey, nearly 1,000 fans chanted his name and cheered virtually every time he got his hands on the ball. The usually quiet Harrison declined to take questions after the workout but the Colts liked what they saw from their 35-year-old teammate. "I thought he looked good," tight end Dallas Clark said. "He's like anyone who hasn't been on the field for a while. I wish it was like riding a bike, but the things we do, the footwork and stuff, that's not natural and that's why you practice. He'll come around like everyone else here." (Updated 07/25/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Throughout the offseason, Harrison continued rehabilitating the injured left knee and then had surgery on his right knee. He also was interviewed by police about a shooting near his North Philadelphia car wash in the spring, but wasn't arrested or charged. Dungy said the Colts will monitor Harrison's progress closely, although there are no immediate plans to scale back his work. Questions still linger about how fast he'll play on his veteran knees, but Fantasy owners should expect Harrison at close to 90 percent of what we saw from him before he got hurt last season. Don't expect him to get the 100-catch, 1,200-yard and 12-touchdown production from Harrison we got in the past, but he could get closer than we initially believed. Consider him a medium-risk high-reward option as a low-end No. 2 WR worth a look between Rounds 5 and 6, significantly higher than where he was earlier this offseason. (Updated 07/25/2008).
