When the New England Patriots released their injury report on Thursday afternoon, a season-high 17 players were listed: 12 were limited during the session, with five more missing it altogether. While their upcoming opponent, the New York Jets, also had 13 players listed on its practice report, the number certainly is significant from a bigger-picture perspective and for a team trying to build some momentum as it keeps fighting for its playoff life.
One of the Patriots’ limited participants on Thursday was Damien Harris.
The second-year running back has been dealing with an ankle ailment ever since last week, when he first popped up on Wednesday’s injury report.
