BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Although he was knocked out on a vicious hit by Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs told his friend not to change the way he plays – despite the NFL’s crackdown on helmet hits.
Cribbs returned to practice Friday after getting a concussion when he was struck last week by Harrison, his former teammate at Kent State. Cribbs defended the hit and said Harrison’s job is to simply “knock people out.”
Cribbs said he spoke to Harrison this week. Cribbs believes he helped persuade Pittsburgh’s big hitter not to retire in the wake of the league fining Harrison $75,000 for a hit on Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, who is still sidelined with a concussion.
