Najee Harris Injury: Avoids reserve/NFI list

The Chargers didn't move Harris (eye) to the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, meaning he'll open the upcoming season on the active roster, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

Harris missed the entirety of training camp and the preseason due to an eye injury that he suffered due to a fireworks accident during a Fourth of July event. He began working with team trainers on the side during practice Aug. 12, and GM John Hortiz said during the Chargers' final exhibition contest that Harris was "on track, and I think he should be able to go, hopefully Week 1," per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. Harris isn't guarantee to be available against Kansas City in Sao Paolo, Brazil for the season opener, but he at least will be eligible to practice ahead of that contest. In Harris' absence, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton will get a chance to establish himself as the team's lead back, with Hassan Haskins providing depth.
