GREEN BAY, Wis. -- DuJuan Harris had a very good reason for missing the Green Bay Packers minicamp. A team physical Monday revealed that the running back had a fist-sized cyst on his lung. The cyst was drained and removed Tuesday morning, and Harris was already back home Wednesday when he announced the news in a series of tweets. "Thank God for team physicals!!!" Harris said in the first tweet, posting a picture of himself hooked up to a monitor, a large bandage covering the 1-inch incision on the right side of his chest. The cyst was not cancerous, agent Dave Lee said, and should not return. Harris needs to let the incision heal, but he should be fully recovered by the time training camp opens next month. "EVERYTHING IS FINE, (doctors) found a fist sized cyst on my lung next to my heart. Shows the importance of getting routine check-ups, GET YOURS!" Harris tweeted. "Its a (hash)blessing!!! Should be 110 per cent very soon and back to work. Thanks for the prayers and keeping me lifted!!! MUCH LOVE." Harris was the feel-good story of Green Bays season last year. The journeyman was cut by Jacksonville at the end of training camp, then spent all of four days in Pittsburgh before the Steelers let him go. He went back to Jacksonville and was working at a car dealership when the Packers signed him to the practice squad Oct. 24. Coaches were impressed right away with what they saw from the pint-sized running back -- he plays much bigger than his 5-foot-8, 208 pounds -- and when injuries decimated Green Bays running game, Harris was promoted to the active roster Dec. 1. His speed, elusiveness and surprising power gave the Packers the consistent run game theyd been searching for all season, and hed cemented his role as a starter by the end of the season. He rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns in four games, and caught a team-high five passes in the NFC wild-card win over Minnesota. "It definitely was a big deal for him last year, and I expect for him to find a way to get back out there again," wide receiver Randall Cobb said. He might be even better now, too. The cyst, which doctors believe Harris has had his entire life, was pressing on his lung, reducing its capacity, Lee said. After doctors discovered it, Harris told them hed occasionally felt pressure in his chest, but assumed it was indigestion. Now that its been removed, Harris will have full lung capacity. "The good news is, it might help him in the long run," said Lee, Harris agent. "He should be able to have more endurance. Im not going to say hell be quicker, but he could last a few more plays. Thats the silver lining of it: Hes actually going to come out physically in better shape than when he went into the surgery." Notes: With WR Randall Cobb expected to be one of Aaron Rodgers primary targets, along with Jordy Nelson and James Jones, his time on special teams would seem to be over. But that depends on his teammates, and whether any one of them can step up and take the job from him, coach Mike McCarthy said. "Theres an opportunity there for others to compete and perform," McCarthy said. "We wont know that until training camp." Cobb said he doesnt care what role he plays, as long as hes playing. "It doesnt matter to me as long as were getting wins," he said. "Whatever its going to take ... is what Im down to do." ... McCarthy said the "real football evaluation" of DL Johnny Jolly, who is trying to make the team after being suspended the past three seasons, will come in training camp. ... With Greg Jennings now with the Minnesota Vikings, James Jones joked that "I dont like Greg no more. He left us."... The Packers wont practice Thursday, opting for a team activity instead. Whats the activity? "I really dont know what it is yet. Were waiting on the weather," McCarthy said. Steady rain forced the Packers to practice inside both Tuesday and Wednesday.

"Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel.MIAMI -- Mike Miller was a luxury that the Miami Heat decided they could no longer afford. Miller was designated Tuesday as the teams amnesty player, a move that may save the Heat more than $30 million in luxury tax payments over the next two years and comes only a few days after team president Pat Riley said the two-time defending NBA champions were hoping to keep the core of the roster largely intact for next season. But with the teams tax bill set to be bigger than ever -- depending on what the final payroll numbers are, the Heat could pay as much as $2.50 per $1 they are over the salary-cap threshold for this coming season under the leagues new and more punitive rules -- the team ultimately made the call to part with Miller, a move that he suspected was coming. "I understand the business side of basketball," Miller told The Associated Press. "Its a combination of being very, very thankful for the opportunity that Ive had, but it hurts that we had a chance to do something very, very special and Id love to have been a part of it." Riley said the team tried to trade Miller, then had to make "a very difficult decision" to use the one-time amnesty provision on him. He said the teams managing general partner Micky Arison, CEO Nick Arison and coach Erik Spoelstra all struggled with the decision. "Mike had an incredible impact on the Miami Heat; helping us to three finals appearances and winning back-to-back World Championships," Riley wrote in a statement released by the team. "This was a very difficult decision for me personally, the Arison family, Erik and the entire Miami Heat organization. Mike was one of the best we have ever had here, and will be sorely missed. We wish Mike, his wife Jennifer and their family nothing but the best." Miller would have made $6.2 million this season, and $6.6 million next season. He still gets that money, but his salary will not count against Miamis cap, nor will it count against a luxury-tax hit that was in line to exceed $30 million this coming season alone. "I love Mike. We all love Mike," Heat guard Dwyane Wade told AP as the news of the teams decision broke. "Its tough to lose one of our brothers. But I think we all understaand its not personal.ddddddddddddIts a business decision." If Miller is not claimed off waivers, he becomes a free agent later this week. Its believed he would like to play for a title contender, and a return to Memphis -- where he spent parts of six seasons -- would likely appeal to Miller. "I know I can be very, very productive for a couple years for sure," Miller said. "But at the same time, it would be very difficult to go into a situation where youre not competing for a title. So Im going to have to weigh those things, and well see how it plays out." Miller spent three seasons in Miami, helping the Heat win two titles and playing big roles in each playoff run. He started the last four games of this years NBA Finals, the highlight of that run possibly being how he lost a shoe during play early in the fourth quarter of Game 6 against San Antonio, flipped it over to the bench, came downcourt and swished a 3-pointer anyway to help the Heat rally from 10 points down in the final 12 minutes. He also came off the bench to make seven 3-pointers in the title-clinching Game 5 win over Oklahoma City in 2012. "Ive had a pretty good career and Ive been a part of a lot of special things," said Miller, the NBAs rookie of the year in 2000-01 and sixth man of the year in 2005-06. "Ive won some individual awards and now two rings, so Im going to have some pretty good memories." Miller plans to keep playing for at least a couple more years, saying that he feels better now than he has in several seasons. He expressed disappointment that not only will he not get to help the Heat try for a third straight title, he will no longer be playing alongside Udonis Haslem, his former college teammate at Florida. Reuniting with Haslem was one of the many reasons why Miller signed with Miami. "I said this when I first got back here: My career started in the state of Florida with unbelievable teammates, one of them being Udonis," Miller said. "And then ending back up in Florida with UD, that was a special thing. We had a chance to win a national championship, came up short, then at the end got back as teammates in the NBA and won two championships together. Thats special." ' ' '
