Najee Harris Racing To Be Fit For Week 2 VS Patriots
“I’ll be back at practice this week, and then I will be playing this weekend,” said Najee Harris On Tuesday.
The Steelers RB had 10 carries for 23 yards, two catches for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s match.
A foot injury forced Najee Harris to sit out overtime of the victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He insists he’ll be fine to face the Patriots in Week 2. However, head coach Mike Tomlin sounded a more cautious note.

“Naj is really optimistic, it’s good to be young,” Tomlin told reporters. “He appears to be in position, but he’s going to have to practice and prove his readiness. That’s just my perspective. He’s a talented guy, but he’s a young guy, and I’m going to want to see some work from him. So we’re going to take it day-by-day and see where that leads us in terms of his participation and quality of that participation. As always, we’ll simple do what’s right for him and for us.”

“I’m good .. just got dinged up, nothing too crazy,” Harris said. “The plan is I should be ready to play. I should be back practicing. Today’s our off day, so it’s good we got today off just to let it heal for another day and get ready to go this weekend.”
