Reports out of Pittsburgh on Monday indicated Steelers running back Najee Harris avoided a serious injury in the weekend’s season opener against the Bengals. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, tests on the ball-carriers’ foot came back negative and there was growing optimism that he would play in Week 2 against the Patriots.
On Tuesday, Harris himself confirmed that he was planning to be back on the field for practice this week and again this Sunday against New England.
“I’m good. Just got dinged up, nothing too crazy,” Harris told Adam Schein on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Radio Tuesday. “I should be ready to play and should be back to practicing. It’s good that we got today off just to let it heal for another day and get ready to go this weekend.”
