Damien Harris, Jonnu Smith Officially Active
3 years agoNew England Patriots running back Damien Harris (concussion) and tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are both active for Thursday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Although it's fair to wonder if his role might be smaller after he missed Week 10 with a concussion and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson went off for a big game. But when healthy, Harris has been New England's preferred choice on the ground, and the Falcons defense hasn't really scared anyone this year. He'll at least be a low-end RB2 in a nice matchup in his return. Smith missed last week with his shoulder injury but is returning in what will likely be another low-volume day for him behind Hunter Henry. Smith isn't a realistic starting option, but his return makes Henry slightly less appealing as a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE1.
