Najee Harris Injury: Participates in drills

Harris (eye) participated in drills with a football Tuesday for the first time during training camp, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Harris was able to do some drills off to the side with an athletic trainer, his first action since suffering a "superficial eye injury" in early July. The running back is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season according to his agent, Doug Hendrickson. The exact nature of Harris' injury hasn't been disclosed, but his return to action at practice is a step in the right direction. The Chargers will open their regular season Sept. 5 in Brazil against Kansas City, but even if Harris suits up, his workload alongside 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton remains uncertain.
