Overview
- Harris suffered a non-contact left Achilles injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s 23-20 win over the Broncos after planting his leg and was carted to the locker room.
- Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that imaging confirmed a torn Achilles, ending Harris’ 2025 season after the team initially listed an in-game ankle injury.
- First-round pick Omarion Hampton takes over as the primary rusher, with Hassan Haskins the other back on the active roster and practice-squad RB Kimani Vidal a likely promotion once Harris goes to injured reserve.
- Harbaugh said general manager Joe Hortiz will survey external options to reinforce the backfield following the loss of Harris.
- Signed on a one-year deal after four straight 1,000-yard seasons in Pittsburgh, Harris missed training camp with a July 4 eye injury and sees his 71-game ironman streak end as the Chargers move to 3-0.
