Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said that he'll be on a limited snap count in the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots due to a shoulder injury.

Harris fought through the ailment during Sunday's 23-16 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and played in a limited capacity after the first quarter.

The 26-year-old was seen sporting a large wrap around his injured shoulder postgame.

Bradley Roby will take over in the starting lineup, while Harris will serve as the Broncos' third cornerback.

"I've just (got) to heal up so hopefully I can make an impact next week," Harris said via ESPN's Dan Graziano.

Harris was selected to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year, recording 58 tackles, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions in 16 games.

The Broncos star compared his injury unfavorably to Ben Roethlisberger's shoulder ailment.

If Harris is limited to obvious passing downs, Tom Brady will likely to target Roby often and early, with a Super Bowl berth on the line.
