When the Los Angeles Chargers included Najee Harris on their 53-man roster last week, it felt like things were certainly trending in the right direction for him to play in Week 1.
Harris did not participate in a single training camp practice, but was involved in the team's "Week 0" practices last week. The Chargers opted to keep only Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins on the 53-man roster with Harris.
Last week, head coach Jim Harbaugh said there was a possibility Harris would play. He practiced in the team's yellow "non-contact" jersey that the Chargers use for players returning from injury.
