"Harris was injured in a July 4th fireworks mishap that landed him on the Non-Football Injury/illness list ahead of training camp. Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said that Harris' injury was "superficial" and that he expected him to be ready for the regular season. But Harris missed all of the Chargers' training camp practices. He began walking laps at Chargers practice on August 2nd and did that daily until Aug 12, when he began working off to the side at practice with a trainer."
"Although the Chargers moved Harris to the active roster, it doesn't mean he's a lock to play in Week 1. If the Chargers placed Harris on NFI he would be required to miss the team's first four games, this move likely means that the team doesn't anticipate Harris needing to miss the required time. Harris has never missed a game in his NFL career. His durability is one of the reasons why he was attractive to the Chargers, and it now appears that he has a legitimate shot to keep his playing streak alive."
The Chargers activated running back Najee Harris from the Non-Football Injury/Illness list to the active roster, making him eligible for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Harris suffered a July 4 fireworks mishap that put him on the NFI list and caused him to miss training camp. His agent, Doug Hendrickson, called the injury "superficial" and expected Harris to be ready for the regular season. The team reported Harris was "on track" for Week 1, and activation indicates the Chargers do not anticipate him missing the first four games. Harris has never missed a game in his NFL career and will share carries with a first-round rookie.
