Chargers' Najee Harris Carted Off With Non-Contact Left Leg Injury, Ruled Out vs. Broncos

The team awaits imaging, with rookie Omarion Hampton set for increased work.

Overview

  • Officials first listed Harris as questionable with an ankle injury before declaring him out after he collapsed untouched in the second quarter at SoFi Stadium.
  • Multiple outlets reported fears of an Achilles injury, though no imaging-based diagnosis has been announced and the team has not confirmed the severity.
  • Harris had six carries for 28 yards at the time of the injury after entering Week 3 with 33 yards on nine attempts through the first two games.
  • Hampton took over primary snaps and scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown on the ensuing drive, with Hassan Haskins also in line for added snaps if Harris misses time.
  • Harris signed a one-year deal in March after four straight 1,000-yard seasons in Pittsburgh and returned for Week 1 despite missing training camp due to a July 4 fireworks-related eye injury.
