Najee Harris Finds End Zone, Plays Through Cramps Late
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back Najee found the end zone for the third time in the past four games in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Harris carried the ball 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown while chipping in two catches for 20 yards in the win. The rookie running back dealt with some cramping during the second half, an issue that held him out of the team's final drive of the contest. Harris will likely be fine for Week 6's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, but it will be worth monitoring Pittsburgh's practice reports this week. For what it's worth, Benny Snell Jr. handled all of the Pittsburgh running back touches on the final drive of the game and would presumably get the start if Harris were unable to suit up next weekend.
