Chargers RB Najee Harris cleared for contact after eye injury

EL SEGUNDO, Calif -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris, who missed all of training camp with an eye injury he sustained in a fireworks mishap, said Monday that he is expecting to play in the Chargers' season opener Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil.

"I think it's probably my fifth day at practice, just trying to get back in that football shape," he said. "But I am feeling good though, and we'll just see where it leads."

Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Harris was cleared to participate in full-contact practice for the first time since signing with the team in March.
