Questionable for Week 6 contest
Harris (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys after practicing in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: After being forced out of New England's Week 5 win over the Texans, first by a chest issue and then by a rib injury, Harris logged a DNP on Wednesday. His subsequent return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity, is encouraging, but the running back's status nonetheless should be monitored as Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. If Harris ends up limited at all or out, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden would be next up for touches in New England's backfield. Meanwhile, reserve back…read more

Listed as limited Thursday
Harris (ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris didn't take part in Wednesday's full-pads practice, but his return to the field Thursday suggests that he has a chance to play through his rib issue Sunday against the Cowboys. We'll circle back on the running back's status Friday, but chances are Harris will approach New England's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff listed as questionable. If he's limited or out this weekend, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden would be in line for added Week 6 touches.

On practice field Thursday
Harris (ribs) was present for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Harris was spotted at practice Wednesday, he officially was listed as a non-participant by the Patriots. If he advances to logging a limited session Thursday, however, the running back's prospects of suiting up this weekend against the Cowboys will brighten. That said, there's still a decent chance that Harris approaches Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff listed as questionable.

Fails to practice Wednesday
Harris (ribs) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris was in attendance for Wednesday's practice, but he apparently didn't take part in any team drills and thus wasn't designated as a limited or full participation. The running back's practice activity will be worth tracking closely the next two days to gain a better sense of whether he'll be ready to play Sunday against the Cowboys. If England's lead back is limited or out this weekend, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden would be next in line for work.

Spotted at practice
Harris (chest/ribs) was present for practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The extent of Harris' participation won't be known until later Wednesday, but his presence on the field to begin the week is a positive sign after the running back was forced out Sunday's win over the Texans, first by a chest issue and then by a rib injury. That said, if Harris ends up sitting out this weekend's game against the Cowboys, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden would be next up for touches in New England's backfield.

Not dealing with significant injury
Harris (ribs) checked out fine after exiting Sunday's win over the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Harris dealt with chest and rib injuries in Sunday's contest, but he's considered day-to-day as the Patriots prepare to face the Cowboys on Sunday. If the 24-year-old is unable to play against Dallas, Brandon Bolden and Rhamondre Stevenson should handle the Patriots' backfield duties Week 6.

Exits Sunday's game again
Harris was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a rib injury.
Analysis: Harris previously left the contest with a chest injury but was able to return. Now he's added a rib issue to his Week 5 injury woes and will need to be monitored in advance of next weekend's game against the Cowboys . While he's unavailable, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden are on hand to handle the team's backfield duties. Prior to his second exit from the game, Harris had carried 14 times for 58 yards and a TD.

Returns to action
Harris (chest) returned to Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Good news for the Patriots, who were down to Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden at RB after Harris exited the contest. While Harris was out of the game, it was Stevenson -- in his first game since Week 1 -- who filled in as the team's top early-down back.

Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Harris had 10 carries for 27 yards and a touchdown before going down with the injury. He nearly scored a second touchdown but lost a fumble at the one-yard line. Rhamondre Stevenson has taken over as New England's primary tailback in his absence.

Forgettable performance on SNF
Harris rushed four times for negative four yards and caught both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Harris technically led the Patriots in rushing attempts (no other rusher had more than one carry), but he also led the team in negative rushing yardage. Brandon Bolden didn't fare any better on the ground (one carry for zero yards), but the latter had a much bigger impact in the passing game (six receptions for 51 yards). Harris has contributed just 10 yards on 10 carries over the last two contests following a hot start to the year. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Patriots mix things up in…read more

Non-factor in loss
Harris (finger) rushed six times for 14 yards while losing three yards on two receptions in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Harris continued to lead the Patriots in backfield touches despite the poor showing. A pick-six by the Saints to kick off the second half made it a three-score game and took away any chance of the back salvaging an ugly first half. The shine has worn off of Harris following his 100-yard performance to open the season. The 24-year-old will certainly have better games than this, but fantasy managers may not want to expect one in a brutal matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Good to go for Week 3
Harris (finger) doesn't carry a Week 3 injury designation after practicing fully Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to a full practice session Friday paves the way for him to continue to head the Patriots' rushing attack Sunday against the Saints. Through two games, the 2019 third-rounder has logged 39 carries for 162 yards and a TD, while adding three catches for 19 yards. He'll take aim Sunday at the New Orleans defense that has allowed just 132 rushing yards and 2.8 yards per carry through two games to date.

Logs another limited session
Harris (finger) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Back-to-back limited sessions set the stage for Friday's practice to be telling with regard to Harris' status for Sunday's game against the Saints. Unless the running back upgrades to full participation to close the week, however, he could be trending toward an official Week 3 "questionable" injury designation.

Limited at practice
Harris was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a finger injury.
Analysis: Harris is appearing on the Patriots' injury report for the first time in 2021, and it's unclear if the running back's finger issue is one he picked up in the Week 2 win over the Jets, or something that cropped up at practice Wednesday. At this stage, there's nothing to suggest that Harris' status for Sunday's game against the Saints is in danger, but his status will be monitored in the coming days in any case.

Leads rushing attack in easy win
Harris rushed 16 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Harris capitalized on some shoddy Jets tackling on his 26-yard rumble into the end zone early in the second half. He's getting the vast majority of the rushing workload in New England's backfield, though receiving back James White is mixing in frequently and scored a seven-yard rushing touchdown of his own. Harris' role is more dependent on game script than White's, but New England looks unlikely to fall behind enough to abandon the run often, so Harris should remain heavily involved in the…read more

Reaches 100 yards
Harris carried the ball 23 times for 100 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. He added two receptions for 17 yards.
Analysis: Harris dominated the Patriots' backfield, accounting for 23 of the team's 30 rushing attempts. He largely handled the duties well, as he picked up 35 yards on the game's first play from scrimmage and also chipped in a chunk gain of 11 yards later in the contest. While the stat sheet reflects a relatively positive opening game for Harris, his box score production could be overshadowed by a fumble late in the fourth quarter that came deep in Dolphins territory and cost the Patriots a chance to…read more

Should benefit sans Michel
Harris has a chance to be the "dominant back on running downs" in New England's offense after the Patriots traded Sony Michel to the Rams on Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, James White remains entrenched as the team's top pass-catching option, with power back Rhamondre Stevenson poised to serve as a backup to Harris when it comes to early down work. Finally, 5-foot-6, 185-pound sparkplug J.J. Taylor -- who has shown flashes of playmaking ability this summer -- is now in a better position to maintain his roster spot. Though Stevenson has been impressive during the preseason, the Patriots have in the past tended to ease rookie backs into the mix, so with…read more

Eight snaps Thursday
Harris logged eight snaps on offense in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles, NESN's Zack Cox reports.
Analysis: It's not a surprise that Harris -- the Patriots' presumed top back -- and pass-catching ace James White (five snaps) saw limited touches Thursday, given their solid roster standing. In that context, Sony Michel, Rhamondre Stevenson and J.J. Taylor logged the bulk of rushing opportunities versus the Eagles, as they jostle for slotting on the team's depth chart. While Harris continues to profile as the New England back to target earliest in fantasy drafts, the team's deep backfield could lead to…read more

Harris rushed six times for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Analysis: Harris turned in an inefficient performance from a yards-per-carry perspective, but he did cash in with a five-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter following an Eagles turnover. The third-year back wasn't targeted for the second straight exhibition Thursday, and Harris also saw rookie fourth-round pick Rhamondre Stevenson thrive again with another pair of rushing touchdowns.

Harris rushed four times for 17 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 22-13 preseason win over Washington.
Analysis: Harris got the start and was the only Patriot to register a rushing attempt on the team's first two drives. He also had an 11-yard run down to Washington's three-yard line called back on a holding penalty on New England's second drive, which ultimately ended in a field goal. The Patriots have plenty of running backs on hand, including receiving specialist James White, 2018 first-round pick Sony Michel, and rookie fourth-rounder Rhamondre Stevenson -- who scored two touchdowns in this one -- but…read more

Analysis: Also in the mix are pass-catching back James White and fourth-round draft pick Rhamondre Stevenson, while Brandon Boldenand J.J. Taylor provide depth. From a fantasy perspective, Harris -- who finished 2020 with 137 carries for 691 yards (5.0 YPC) and two touchdowns profiles as the team's top option, but his minimal impact in the passing game hampers his utility in PPR formats.

Moves to injured reserve
Harris (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old was previously ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Jets, so this is simply a procedural move to free up a roster spot for the Patriots. Harris spent the first three weeks of the season on injured reserve, but he took over the lead role in the backfield Week 4 and finished 2020 with 137 carries for 691 yards (5.0 YPC) and two touchdowns while catching five passes for 52 yards in 10 games.

Harris finishes his second NFL season with 137 carries for 691 yards and two touchdowns to go along with five catches for 52 yards in 10 games.

His ankle issue lingered into this week, capping his practice reps yet again Thursday through Saturday. There's a chance Harris' status comes down to a game-time decision, which is precarious for fantasy purposes with a Monday night battle on tap.

Analysis: Harris and fellow running back James White (foot) are among the 14 New England players listed as questionable this week, though added context with regard to who's in and who's out should arrive once the Patriots announce which players won't travel with the team to Miami.

Racks up 95 scrimmage yards
Harris carried 16 times for 80 yards and caught his only target for 15 additional yards during Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Harris averaged a healthy 5.0 yards per carry and added his longest reception of the season, though it went for modest yardage. He finished with his third-highest allotment of touches in a game this season but could've easily had more if Cam Newton and Sony Michel didn't combine for 24 carries. Harris seems entrenched in an early-down role and has been quite effective on a per-touch basis, but he should continue to share the load to some degree in Thursday's matchup with the Rams.

While Harris has established himself as New England's top option on the ground, the team's plethora of short-yardage rushing options -- highlighted by quarterback Cam Newton (nine rushing touchdowns) -- and Harris' lack of involvement in the passing game continue to put a damper on the 2019 third-round pick's production.

Analysis: Michel's return to action from a quad injury bolsters the Patriots' running back corps, though Rex Burkhead (knee) is now on IR. Given that Harris ran well in Michel's absence, the 2019 third-rounder figures to continue to head the team's ground game Sunday, barring any injury setbacks, while Michel works in a complementary role and James White handles change-of-pace duties.

Analysis: Harris was limited at practice throughout last week before rushing 22 times for 121 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. With no reported setbacks in that contest, his limitations to begin Week 11 were probably maintenance-related. The Patriots have yet to decide whether Sony Michel (quadriceps) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans, but with the way he's been running of late, Harris seems likely to continue headlining New England's ground…read more

Continues to roll in victory
Harris (chest-ankle) rushed 22 times for 121 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over Baltimore.
Analysis: Harris carried a questionable tag heading into the Sunday Night Football affair, so fantasy owners who rolled the dice on the tailback were rewarded handsomely. The 2019 third-round pick set a new career high in carries (22) thanks to rainy and windy conditions at Foxborough, and he was a big reason why the Patriots were able to move the ball with ease against a stout Baltimore defense. Harris is only on the field for about a third of the Patriots' offensive snaps this season, but he touches…read more

Good to go Sunday
Harris (chest/ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's home game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Sony Michel (quad) still on IR, the Patriots' other backfield options Sunday are the versatile Rex Burkhead and change-of-pace back James White, while rookie J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Harris -- who's averaging 5.6 yards per carry to date -- should lead the way in early-down situations, with Burkhead and White mixing in. Given Harris' limited involvement in the New England passing game, his path to fantasy relevance Week 10 is logging double-digit…read more

Hopes to play Sunday
Harris (chest/ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is "hopeful to play," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport adds that Harris will be monitored closely in pre-game warmups as the Patriots look to ensure he experiences no setbacks before clearing him to suit up. With Sony Michel (quad) still on injured reserve, the Patriots' other backfield options are the versatile Rex Burkhead, change-of-pace back James White and rookie J.J. Taylor. Given that Sunday's game kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET, there's an element of risk in counting on Harris -- who has emerged as New England's top early-down option --…read more

Questionable for Sunday night
Harris (chest/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Ravens after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris is one of 17 players listed as questionable by the Patriots, and while his practice participation all week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- offers encouragement, his status remains worth monitoring leading up to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the running back, who left Monday night's win over the Jets with a chest injury, stopped short of saying he'd play Sunday night but did note that he's been working to that end over the past few days. If Harris is…read more

Harris (chest/ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Harris (chest/ankle) was listed as limited at practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Harris headed into Week 9 action managing the ankle issue, but it was the chest injury that ended up forcing him out of Monday's win over the Jets. That he was able to practice two days later -- even in a limited fashion -- is a decent sign, but if Harris is at less than 100 percent health heading into the weekend, the Patriots could choose to bring Sony Michel (quadriceps) back from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Back at practice Wednesday
Harris (chest) is present at Wednesday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris was forced out of Monday's win over the Jets due to the chest injury, so it's encouraging to see him in attendance for practice just two days later. The second-year running back is also scheduled to speak with the media Friday, which isn't standard procedure for injured players. That said, until the actual extent of Harris' practice activity is revealed, his status will need to be monitored heading into the Patriots' Week 10 game against Baltimore.

Rushing leader prior to injury
Harris rushed 14 times for 71 yards prior to leaving Monday night's 30-27 win over the Jets with a chest injury suffered during the fourth quarter.
Analysis: Harris did not return after taking a shot to the chest late in Monday's contest. Despite his early exit, Harris still led the Pats in rushing yards and attempts, but couldn't find the end zone even though New England scored three times on the ground. While Harris again didn't feature in the passing game either, his recent production still makes his injury situation important to monitor ahead of Week 10's matchup against the Ravens.

Harris is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Jets.
Analysis: With Sony Michel (quad) not activated for the contest, Harris is in line to head the team's Week 9 rushing attack, with pass-catching ace James White and the versatile Rex Burkhead also in the mix. Harris logged 16 carries for 102 yards and a TD in the Patriots' Week 8 loss to the Bills, and Michel's continued absence helps extend Harris' fantasy lineup window.

Analysis: Seventeen players from the Patriots were listed as questionable following the team's final injury report, so it's clear there's a bit of gamesmanship being played at the moment. Considering Harris was listed as a limited participant all week and no news surfaced about him possibly missing Monday's game, all indications seem to suggest the second-year back will be good to go.

Limited Thursday
Harris (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris is one of 12 players listed as limited by the Patriots and we suspect that his status for Monday night's game against the Jets is in no danger. The 2019 third-rounder carried 16 times for 102 yards and a TD in this past Sunday's loss to the Bills, but it's worth noting that Sony Michel (quad) has returned to practice and could come off IR as soon as this week. In such a scenario, he'd be an immediate threat to cut into Harris' early-down workload.

Leads offense in Week 8 loss
Harris (ankle) rushed 16 times for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to Buffalo. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.
Analysis: Harris' 22-yard rushing score with 3:03 left in the third quarter got New England into the end zone for the first time, and the Patriots' ensuing two-point conversion tied the game at 14 apiece. New England ultimately came up just short on a costly Cam Newton fumble, but Harris was the only player to handle double-digit carries for the Patriots and has emerged as the team's leading backfield rushing option heading into a Week 9 date with the winless Jets.

Harris (ankle) listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Considering the Patriots' injuries at wide receiver, as well as potentially rainy and windy weather conditions Sunday afternoon in the Buffalo area, Harris is a candidate to be busy in the absence of any setbacks. Also in the team's Week 8 backfield mix are pass-catching ace James White, versatile Rex Burkhead and rookie J.J. Taylor.

Harris (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Harris, who was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, noted heading into the weekend that he was feeling "fine," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com relays. Confirmation of the running back's status will arrive when the Patriots reveal their inactives prior to Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. The team's injuries at wide receiver as well as potentially rainy and windy weather conditions on game day in the Buffalo area could well lead to New England employing a run-heavy attack in Week 8.

Harris (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Harris logged 21 of a possible 52 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers, en route to recording a team-high 10 carries for 58 yards and adding one catch for 12 yards. With back-to-back limited sessions in the book, there's a pretty solid chance that he'll end up officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Reps capped at practice
Harris was limited at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Harris is one of eight New England players who was limited in the team's first Week 8 practice. At this stage, it's unclear if Harris' listed ankle issue is a carryover from Week 7 action or indicative of an in-practice setback. He was on the field for 21 of the Patriots' 52 offensive snaps in Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers, carrying a team-high 10 times for 58 yards while catching one pass for 12 yards.

Effective in limited duty
Harris carried 10 times for 58 yards and turned his only target into a 12-yard gain during Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Harris gashed the San Francisco defense for 5.8 yards per carry and made a nice gain with his only reception, but his role was rather limited as his side went into the half down 20 points. Although it was a nice bounce-back effort after he managed just 19 yards on six carries against the Broncos a week ago, fantasy managers will likely be a bit disappointed with the limited usage.

Six carries in loss
Harris rushed six times for 19 yards and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Harris got six carries to Rex Burkhead's five and James White's four, but Cam Newton (10 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown) outproduced the three running backs combined on the ground. Game script dictated a larger role for White, who finished with eight catches as the Patriots spent the entire game playing from behind. A more favorable game script should produce a larger role for Harris in Week 7 against the 49ers, but White and Burkhead will remain on hand to siphon off touches, even with…read more

Hits century mark in loss
Harris (finger) rushed 17 times for 100 yards in the Patriots' 26-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
Analysis: Harris essentially was the lone bright spot for the Patriots in the double-digit loss, with his 41-yard run serving as a game-high figure. The 2019 third-round pick was making his season debut after being activated off injured reserve, and even though he gained a modest 59 yards on his other 16 carries, he was still the most effective runner of the night for New England. With Sony Michel (quadriceps) on injured reserve for the moment, Harris may have an extended opportunity to show what he can…read more

Activated from IR
Harris (finger) has been activated from IR for Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The move corresponds with Sony Michel (quad) going on IR, which sets that stage for Harris to enter the team's early down mix Week 4, joining fellow backs James White, Rex Burkhead and J.J. Taylor in a backfield that's crowded, even without Michel. Prior to injuring his finger, Harris had a strong training camp, and the 2019 third-rounder now will have a chance to be a key cog in the Patriots' rushing offense after seeing minimal usage as a rookie.

Analysis: News broke Saturday that players on both the Patriots and the Chiefs have tested positive for COVID-19, which led to the postponement of Sunday's game between the two teams. The league hopes it can fit in the game Monday or Tuesday.

Analysis: Harris is eligible to return to action this week after missing the Patriots' first three games, but the team has until Saturday afternoon to make a call on his Week 4 status. Whether New England elects to activate Harris in advance of Sunday's game against the Chiefs could well hinge on whether it's felt that Sony Michel will be able to play through a quad injury that has him listed a questionable this week.

Taylor. It's not quite clear how Harris will fit in if he's ready to return for Sunday's game in Kansas City, but he generated some buzz back in training camp as a threat to challenge Michel for the lead ballcarrier role.

Analysis: In a corresponding move, J.J. Taylor will be promoted from the team's practice squad. Prior to suffering his finger injury, Harris had been pushing for a key early-season role. That's on hold for at least a few weeks, but Harris does figure to contribute once he's back.

Week 1 status uncertain
Harris, who reportedly had surgery to repair his injured pinkie, is a candidate to be placed on the 2020 version of IR that allows players to return after three weeks, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Such a move is hardly a lock, but it's an option for the team if it feels that Harris could benefit from a cautious approach, with Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead healthy as Week 1 approaches. Harris' strong training camp has him poised to carve out a role -- when healthy -- in the Patriots' backfield after limited usage as a rookie. In any case, until or unless long-term injuries or roster moves thin out the team's running back depth chart, a committee approach seems likely, with…read more

Analysis: While the Patriots haven't provided any information, back-to-back absences hint at some type of injury. Prior to the past couple days, Harris had been splitting first-team carries with Sony Michel, who returned from the PUP list last Wednesday. The New England backfield has been a consistent source of intrigue this summer, and it appears there's still much to be determined in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Sony Michel -- who came of the PUP list Wednesday -- "looked light on his feet again."

Mike Reiss of ESPN.com believes that Harris has put himself in a good position to be "a primary option (in the Patriots' running game) alongside Rex Burkhead" to start the coming season.
Analysis: Per Reiss, Harris' "fresh legs and soft hands in the passing game" have helped the second-year back take advantage of the continued absence of Sony Michel, whose Week 1 status is cloudy as he continues to recover from May foot surgery. If Michel isn't ready to start the season and Lamar Miller (knee) is unable to make a late push for early-down work once he joins practice, it's starting to look like Harris could have a chance to head the team's backfield in New England's opener, with the…read more

Harris has shown some receiving ability at training camp, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Analysis: With Sony Michel (foot) and Lamar Miller (knee) both absent from practice and uncertain for Week 1, there's a big opportunity for Harris -- a 2019 third-round pick -- to step up as the lead runner in New England. It'll still be James White getting most of the work on passing downs, but any development as a receiving threat could help Harris retain playing time even after Michel rejoins the lineup.

Analysis: Even before Michel's foot surgery was reported, there was some thought Harris might challenge for the lead ballcarrier role this upcoming season. It's a nice opportunity for the 2019 third-round pick, but he's still facing the reality of a crowded backfield, one where James White, Rex Burkhead and Lamar Miller could also take first-team reps in the coming weeks.

Should see more work in 2020
In his second season as a pro, Harris could pair well with lead back Sony Michel to give the Patriots "a potentially nice one-two combination" out of the team's backfield on early downs, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Pass-catching ace James White is still around and will continue to see his share of targets, but Harris will undoubtedly see more opportunities in 2020 after logging just four carries in two games as a rookie. Versatile Rex Burkhead is also in the mix, at least for now, but after taking Harris in the third round of last year's draft, expect the Patriots to see what they have in the 5-foot-11, 213-pound Alabama product.

Harris' rookie season essentially amounted to a redshirt year and with Sony Michel, James White, Rex Burkhead and Brandon Bolden all under contract with the Patriots in 2020, the Alabama product doesn't have a clear path to abundant carries in his second season as a pro.
