FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots safety
Rodney Harrison will miss his second straight playoff game Sunday with a
knee injury.

Harrison, hurt in the last regular-season game, was the only
Patriots player listed as "out" for the divisional playoff
against the San Diego Chargers. The only player added to the list
as questionable is fullback Heath Evans with an injured shin.

Harrison will sit out the game against the team he played his
first nine seasons with before spending four with the Patriots. He
sprained his right knee in a 40-23 win at Tennessee when he was
blocked by wide receiver Bobby Wade.

Last season, Harrison missed the last 13 regular-season games
and both playoff games after he tore three ligaments in his left
knee. This season, he missed six games with a broken right shoulder
blade, then played one full game before getting hurt against
Tennessee.

Tight end Benjamin Watson was listed as questionable for the
second straight week, but played in last Sunday's 37-16 win over
the New York Jets. Wide receiver Bam Childress also was
questionable after being inactive last Sunday.
