Damien Harris injury: Latest report on Patriots RB is encouraging

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris wasn't able to finish Sunday's Week 5 game against the Houston Texans, but the latest report on his injury is an encouraging sign for the team.

Harris left the team's 25-22 win at NRG Stadium with a chest injury in the second half but did return at one point. He exited again in the fourth quarter, and this time the Patriots specifically labeled the issue a rib injury.

NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported a fresh update on Harris' injury with the following tweet Monday afternoon:

Harris tallied 58 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries before leaving the game a second time.
