"Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that running back Najee Harris is cleared to participate in full-contact practice, another sign that Harris could play in the Chargers' season opener Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. Harbaugh was still noncommittal, however, on Harris' status for Friday's game: "There's a possibility," he said. "He's looked really good in practice." Harris injured his eye in a Fourth of July fireworks mishap, which landed him on the non-football Injury/illness list ahead of training camp."
"Harbaugh also said that wide receiver Quentin Johnston cleared concussion protocol. Johnston suffered a frightening concussion in the Chargers' second preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams, which left him motionless on the field for several minutes. Johnston didn't miss much practice and appears in line to play Friday. Before Monday, Harris had worn a yellow jersey at practice, which is worn by players still working through an injury."
Jim Harbaugh said Najee Harris is cleared for full-contact practice and could play in the Chargers' season opener Friday in Brazil, though Harbaugh remained noncommittal. Harris injured his eye in a Fourth of July fireworks mishap and began camp on the non-football Injury/illness list. Quentin Johnston cleared concussion protocol after a frightening preseason concussion that left him motionless on the field for several minutes. Before Monday Harris wore a yellow jersey, looked quick in individual drills, but did not take handoffs from Justin Herbert during media access. Hassan Haskins and Omarion Hampton took handoffs while Harris worked with other quarterbacks. Harris has never missed an NFL game; if he misses time, the Chargers would likely rely heavily on Omarion Hampton.
