Defensive Player of the Year, said he would skip the Super Bowl champions’ visit to the White House to meet President Obama on Thursday, just as he did when the Steelers were honored by President George W. Bush in June 2006. Harrison told Pittsburgh station WTAE-TV he does not believe the invitation is all that special. ¶Philadelphia’s defensive coordinator, Jim Johnson, has taken a leave of absence while he continues treatment for a cancerous tumor on his spine. Johnson, 67, complained of back pain in early January. He coached from the press box in a playoff win over the Giants and in the Eagles’ loss to Arizona in the N.F.C. championship game. Sean McDermott, the secondary coach, will run the defense. eagles.
