After the Steelers’ 19–9 win over the Lions Sunday to end the preseason, Najee Harris told reporters that he had been out with a Lisfranc injury. The specifics of the foot injury were previously unknown.
A Lisfranc joint injury is a type of injury to the bones or ligaments, or both, in the middle part of your foot. There’s also usually damage to the cartilage in your bones.
“It was good to get back out there,” Harris said. “[I was] Kinda rusty a little bit, I’ll say. I been down for about four weeks. … I got my foot stepped on. I had a sprained Linsfranc. So that’s why I was out for the majority of camp. So to get back in the motions of stuff like that, I felt a little rusty. I wasn’t too happy about my performance, bad read on one run, had the false start.”
