    Philly-Detroit trade might have saved Jerome Harrisons life

    As Philadelphia Eagles doctors were giving newly acquired running back Jerome Harrison his physical, they discovered a brain tumor that nullified a trade with the Detroit Lions, according to two league sources.

    The trade might have actually saved Harrison's life, the sources said. Without the deal being made, Harrison would not have undergone a physical. The tumor is now being treated, according to sources.

    Harrison could not be reached for comment.

    The Eagles would have sent running back Ronnie Brown to the Lions in exchange for Harrison and an undisclosed pick in the 2013 NFL draft. Brown arrived in Detroit but never got to practice Wednesday.

    Harrison is not expected to play again this season, but his long-term prognosis both for life and his football career appear to be good, sources said. He is visiting with more doctors Thursday.

    The voided trade has left the Lions with major issues at running back because star running back Jahvid Best suffered the third concussion of his career in last week's loss to San Francisco.

    Adam Schefter is ESPN's NFL Insider.

      wow. Good thing I picked up Maurice Morris instead of Brown!
      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
      It was all       true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can       mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

              I agree. Living in Philly can kill anyone.

                  I don't feel bad for him, I feel glad for him. If they hadn't have found it, he'd probably be dead soon. Not being able to play football isn't the end of the world. Dieing is.

                  It said in the article he'll make a full recovery and probably even play football again in the future. He's very lucky, IMO.

                    Lucky call for Harrison. Unlucky break for Detroit, but what else is new there?
