Former Alabama running back and 2020 Doak Walker Award winner Najee Harris was put on the active/non-football injury list by the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday. The longtime Pittsburgh Steeler signed with the Chargers in March.
Harris was the unfortunate recipient of what was described as a superficial eye injury due to a fireworks accident on the Fourth of July. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the procedural move, which allows Harris to be sidelined through training camp until final cutdown day if necessary.
Doug Hendrickson, the running back's agent, said in a July 10 statement that he expects his client to be "fully ready for the upcoming NFL season." Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz said Wednesday it was likely Harris would begin camp on the NFI list.
Chargers officially placed RB Najee Harris on Active/Non-Football Injury.

“He's down to earth, fun. He feels more like a teammate than a coach, especially when we're out on the field. He does his job extremely well as you can obviously see. But as a player, you feel like he's one of us, which makes our job a lot easier.”
