Chargers Face Tuesday Decision on Najee Harris’ Week 1 Availability

He is recovering from a July 4 eye injury that has kept him on the Non-Football Injury list.

Overview

  • General manager Joe Hortiz said on Saturday that Harris is "on track" and "should be able to go, hopefully in Week 1" against the Chiefs.
  • Head coach Jim Harbaugh has offered no timetable, reiterating only that Harris will play when cleared.
  • If Harris is not activated from the NFI list by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET roster cutdown, league rules require he miss at least four games.
  • Harris resumed limited on-field drills on Aug. 12 and has continued working off to the side with a helmet and visor or dark glasses.
  • NFL insider Albert Breer reports rookie Omarion Hampton has capitalized on Harris’ summer absence and may have positioned himself for a leading role.
