Broncos: Harris Out For Six Weeks

Broncos offensive tackle Ryan Harris will be out four to six weeks after undergoing back surgery.

The Denver Post in its online edition late Thursday night reports Harris underwent a laminectomy procedure to alleviate pinched nerves from the spinal cord.

Harris is a rookie out of Notre Dame. He had been projected to be a first-round draft pick until he underwent back surgery in July 2006 to repair a herniated disc. The Broncos drafted Harris this year in the third-round.

During minicamp, Harris began suffering back pain in an area unrelated to his previous surgery.
