Coming off of a rookie season in which he handled a heavy workload, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is once again expected to carry a heavy workload for the Steelers offense under second-year coordinator Matt Canada. Knowing that, it’s important to lessen the wear and tear on Harris ahead of the regular season, at least from the Steelers’ perspective.
His foot injury he’s dealt with in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe has been a bit of a blessing in disguise, as it’s kept Harris out of the lineup and mostly off the field in contact situations.
