Report: Despite Knee Injury, ‘Optimism’ RB Najee Harris Will Play Thursday

Drafted in 2021, Najee Harris is a perfect 46-for-46 in games played. Extending that streak to 47 looks literally and figuratively questionable. Listed as such on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final injury report due to a knee injury, Harris hasn’t practiced all week. Granted, it’s a short week and the team held only a Tuesday walkthrough and one true practice Wednesday, making his status more difficult to tell than a normal week of work.

Despite the concern, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports there is “optimism” Harris will suit up against the Patriots, backing up a report Tom Pelissero issued earlier today.
