Damien Harris Limited To Start The Week
3 years agoNew England Patriots running back Damien Harris (finger) is on the injury report to begin the week and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It's unclear when Harris injured his finger, but it doesn't look like it should keep him out for a Week 3 date with the New Orleans Saints. Harris has only four targets compared to James White's 13 through the first two weeks, but he has dominated the carry distribution, attempting 39 rushing attempts for 162 yards and a touchdown. White has the second-most carries behind him with just nine. The 24-year-old should continue to be the preferred choice for Bill Belichick on early downs while ceding work to White in passing situations. That'll keep him in the RB2 picture in a matchup with a Saints defense that has only allowed one rushing touchdown through two weeks.
