Agent: Najee Harris has eye injury from fireworks incident

LOS ANGELES -- Chargers running back Najee Harris sustained an eye injury after a fireworks mishap at a July Fourth event, his agent Doug Hendrickson told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday. Hendrickson said the injury was "superficial" and that Harris is expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season.

Hendrickson said the "mishap resulted to injuries to several attendees." One person was hospitalized after he lost fingers in the accident in Antioch, California, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, citing police.

Harris signed a one-year deal with the Chargers in March to play a key role in rebuilding the Chargers' rushing offense.
