NFL: Titans tight end calls Harrison’s hit “cheap shot

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee tight end Bo Scaife called James Harrison’s shot on his left leg a “cheap shot” in the locker room after the game. Titans coach Jeff Fisher doesn’t agree.

Scaife missed the rest of the Titans’ 13-10 overtime loss to Pittsburgh after being hit by Harrison on the opening drive of the third quarter. He was limping badly in the locker room and told The Tennessean newspaper he thought the hit was cheap.
Fisher said Friday that Scaife was a ball carrier who the defender can tackle anyway he wants. Fisher said he thought Harrison already was driving low and called it a strange set of circumstances.
Scaife had an MRI on his knee Friday. Fisher said the tight end has a lot of swelling but will be day to day.
