Chargers expect RB Najee Harris to start vs. Chiefs

SAO PAULO -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris, who missed all of training camp because of an eye injury sustained in a fireworks mishap, is expected to start in Friday's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday.

Harris was listed as having fully participated in practice.

"He says he's ready, and he looks ready to go," Harbaugh said. "Really hard to predict play counts. He's going to play football and have at it. That's the mindset."

Harris was on the field with his teammates Wednesday for a light on-field work session just hours after the team arrived in São Paulo.
