Overview

  • Harris sustained a non-contact left Achilles injury in the second quarter against the Broncos, was helped off, and was carted to the locker room after an initial ankle designation.
  • On Monday, coach Jim Harbaugh said testing confirmed a torn Achilles, ruling Harris out for the remainder of the 2025 season.
  • Hampton steps into the primary role after posting 70 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and his first NFL touchdown following Harris’ exit.
  • The setback ends Harris’ streak of 71 consecutive regular-season games and interrupts his one-year debut season in Los Angeles after four straight 1,000-yard years in Pittsburgh.
  • Roster options under review include Hassan Haskins on the active roster and practice-squad back Kimani Vidal, whom reports identify as a likely promotion once Harris is placed on injured reserve.
