PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison feels the teams current defensive woes can be cured.Adding a former first-round pick into the mix can only help.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said second-year linebacker Bud Dupree is in the plans for Sundays game at Cleveland. Dupree, the teams 2015 first-rounder, has spent the season on short-term injured reserve, working his way back from an injured groin. But he practiced the previous two weeks and could make his season debut Sunday.Any time you can implement a first-round talent like Bud, its always going to be a boost to the positional group and the defense overall, said Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats. From another standpoint, were all competing against each other, so to add another person that you know is going to be productive, it just makes you want to play that much harder.The Steelers placed Dupree on injured reserve during the first week of September after he underwent surgery to repair a groin injury. Dupree, who didnt play in the preseason, was designated to return and began practicing last week. Tomlin will decide whether to activate Dupree to the 53-man roster for Sundays game, which would give the Steelers a five-man rotation at outside linebacker.Everybodys interested in Bud coming back, as am I, but at the same time, we have to work with the guys who are going to play on Sunday and try to win a football game, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said. Thats primary.That has been difficult lately for the Steelers, who have lost their last four games, sliding to 4-5 overall. The defense has allowed an average of 28 points and 134 yards rushing in those losses.You want to try and stop the run, Harrison said. You dont want a team to be able to do two things well, because thats a two-headed monster and its harder to stop that. We want to try and stop the run and pressure the quarterback when we get the opportunities.The Steelers have experienced trouble pressuring the quarterback, too, with 13 sacks in nine games. Thats tied for last in the league, one season after the Steelers ranked third with 48 sacks. The run defense could be the culprit, giving the opposition third-and-short opportunities.Were not putting them into situations where they have to lean towards the pass, Harrison said. If theyre in third and manageable, it gives them an opportunity to go with (the run or pass) and you cant pin your ears back and take off after the quarterback.Harrison, the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has made a career of getting to the quarterback. The 38-year-old Harrison, who could start at right outside linebacker Sunday, has 76 + sacks as a Steeler, a half-sack from the team record of 77 held by Jason Gildon.Harrison thought he set the record last week against Dallas, but the sack was given to Stephon Tuitt, a decision upheld after a review from the league. Harrison doesnt mind. He is more concerned with getting the Steelers back on track this week against Cleveland.Thats just the way it is, Harrison said. You just have to move on and go to the next week.Game notes WR Antonio Brown defended his decision to run out of bounds rather than lateral on the final play last Sunday against Dallas, noting it wasnt a lateral play and defenders surrounded him. They had seven guys in the end zone and four guys around me. In that scenario, you guys tell me, what would you do? Brown said. . DE Cameron Heyward (pectoral), WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (foot), S Shamarko Thomas (groin), WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder), and RB DeAngelo Williams were all ruled out for Sunday against Cleveland, while S Jordan Dangerfield (groin) and TE Xavier Grimble (quadriceps) were listed as questionable.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

The Browns just have to march on, trying to get something -- anything -- done.Its crazy, man, wide receiver Terrelle Pryor said. Were battling our butts off. I dont know if its us not being able to catch a break.We practice hard. This is a very good team. I believe were going to keep on making strides and were going to win games. But its crazy how so many times were up and were beating them, and then something goes wrong.In talking about facing the Cleveland offense, the New England coaches have talked about the difficulty dealing with running back Isaiah Crowell, who has rushed for 332 yards in the last three games.This is really a very good back, defensive coordinator Matt Patricia of the Patriots said. He has tremendous speed, he can get to the edge and break the big runs.They obviously have a very explosive running game, one of the best run games in the league. ' ' '
