- General manager Joe Hortiz said Chargers and Stanford medical staff have shared positive treatment updates and will assess Harris in El Segundo upon his arrival.
- Under NFL rules, players on the NFI list after final roster cutdown must miss at least four games, but both Hortiz and agent Doug Hendrickson expect Harris to be cleared beforehand.

- Harris’s timely clearance will be key to head coach Jim Harbaugh’s ground-attack strategy and the Chargers’ backfield rotation.
