Overview

  • Los Angeles moved the free-agent running back to the 53-man roster after a July 4 fireworks-related eye injury limited him throughout camp.
  • The activation makes Harris eligible to face the Chiefs on Sept. 5 in São Paulo, though his game status will depend on next week’s practice participation.
  • Harris has not taken part in full practices, progressing from walking laps to side-field work with a trainer in recent weeks.
  • GM Joe Hortiz said Harris was "on track" for Week 1, with the roster move first reported by NFL Network and confirmed by ESPN.
  • When available, Harris is expected to share carries with first-round rookie Omarion Hampton as the Chargers try to revive a rushing attack that has not produced a 1,000-yard rusher since 2017.
