Why Patriots’ Bye Wasn’t Weekend Off For Damien Harris After Injury

Many Patriots players got out of New England during the team’s Week 14 bye. Not Damien Harris.

After suffering a hamstring injury during last Monday’s win over the Buffalo Bills, Harris spent his weekend rehabbing at the Patriots’ facility, according to running backs coach Ivan Fears.

“I can tell you this about Damien: If there’s any way to find a way to get on the field to play, that’s what he’s going to do,” Fears said Monday in a video conference. “He’s working hard. He’s been here all weekend. He’s taken full advantage of the bye week to get himself, as much as possible, ready for practice.
