New England Patriots running back Damien Harris suffered an injury in Week 5’s matchup with the Detroit Lions. A hamstring injury will likely lead to Harris missing multiple games. Further tests are required to determine just how severe the injury is, and how many weeks he will miss.
The NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news via Twitter on Tuesday.
Harris was a two-time College Football Playoff champion while at the University of Alabama, in 2015 and 2017. Despite his college career, he was drafted in the third round with the 87th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Patriots.
So far in 2022, Harris has played and started in all five games, rushing for 257 yards and three touchdowns on 57 carries. He had almost 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns last season; an impressive total given head coach Bill Belichick’s propensity to feature multiple running backs in his system. Stay tuned to TGH for more information on Harris’ injury.
