Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been informed that his meeting with NFL investigators is 11 a.m. Thursday at the Steelers practice facility, the Post Gazette has learned.
The date meets the requirement the league sent out last week that Harrison and two other players _ Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers _ must submit to interviews by Aug. 25 or face possible indefinite suspension. Harrison, Matthews and Peppers were among five players who were linked to performance enhancing drugs in an Al Jazeera America documentary last December.
Even though the source for the report later recanted his story, the NFL decided to investigate the matter.
Harrison's interview will take place shortly before the Steelers leave for their preseason game Friday night in New Orleans.
