Najee Harris Doesn't Practice Tuesday
1 year agoPittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was unable to practice with the team on Tuesday in the first practice of the week. It's the same knee injury that had him questionable to play last Thursday in the upset loss to the New England Patriots. Harris was able to play in that game, but the entire Steelers offense wasn't very effective at all in quarterback Mitch Trubisky's first start in place of the injured Kenny Pickett (ankle). The 25-year-old RB had 15 touches for 48 scrimmage yards and no touchdowns. He should be fine to play this Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts with a mini-bye to rest up. However, there's nothing that suggests the Steelers' offense will be much better with Trubisky making another start this week. Harris will be a touchdown-dependent, low-end RB2 if he plays this Saturday.
