Najee Harris's Season-Ending Injury and Absence from Week 10 SNF

Najee Harris, who recently transitioned from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency, will not play in Week 10 against his former team due to a season-ending Achilles tear. Harris initially suffered a superficial eye injury during July 4 fireworks, which delayed his start in training camp. Despite playing in the season opener, he suffered a non-contact injury in Week 3 that confirmed a torn Achilles tendon, ending his season prematurely. His injury has significant financial implications, including the loss of $4 million in rushing incentives. The Chargers, already depleted in the backfield with Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins injured, are currently relying on Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson for running back duties. Harris's absence marks a major setback for the Chargers' season, although they remain competitive in the AFC West.
