Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris sustained a superficial eye injury attending a Fourth of July event and is expected to be ready for the 2025 NFL season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday.
Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to his client and multiple people attending the event.
The Mercury News first reported Harris' accident.
"Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees," Hendrickson said in a statement via Rapoport. "Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season."
This offseason, Harris signed with the Chargers on a one-year deal worth up to $9.25 million.
Harris spent his first four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he played in every regular season game and contributed at least 1,000-plus rushing yards in each campaign. He also earned a Pro Bowl nod in his rookie year.
Harris was selected No. 24 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama.
In 68 games, Harris recorded 4,312 rushing yards for 28 touchdowns and 1,149 receiving yards with six receiving TDs.
