Overview
- Harris collapsed without contact after planting his left leg in the second quarter of the 23-20 win over the Broncos and was carted to the locker room.
- The team initially listed him with an ankle issue and questionable to return before clarifying it was an Achilles injury, which imaging confirmed Monday.
- The loss ends Harris’ streak of 71 consecutive regular-season games and halts his run of four straight 1,000-yard seasons to start his career.
- Hampton moves into the primary role, with Hassan Haskins available behind him as the Chargers assess depth and consider practice-squad options such as Kimani Vidal.
- Harris signed a one-year deal after four seasons in Pittsburgh and had missed training camp with a July 4 fireworks-related eye injury; he logged six carries for 28 yards Sunday before exiting.
