Overview
- Najee Harris progressed to running and football drills on the side with a trainer for the first time this training camp.
- Harris remains on the active/NFI list without returning to full-team practice, leaving his Week 1 status unconfirmed by coach Jim Harbaugh.
- Offensive coordinator Greg Roman reiterated that the Chargers will employ a multi-back rotation regardless of Harris’s availability.
- Rookie Omarion Hampton is poised to assume the primary early-season role if Harris is unavailable, with carries also up for grabs among Kimani Vidal, Hassan Haskins and others.
- An end-of-August cutdown decision looms that could move Harris to reserve/NFI, mandating at least four games on the sideline under NFL rules.
