News

  • Healthy scratch for Week 7

    Harris (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Harris' playing time has dropped in back-to-back weeks after he played at least 60 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps in each of the first four games of 2023. John Cominsky appears to have supplanted Harris as a starting defensive end, while Romeo Okwara and Julian Okwara will maintain rotational roles.

  • Back in action

    Harris (groin) has been participation in the Lions' OTAs, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Harris made his return to the field after having dealt with a groin injury since October. The 2017 first-round pick logged 14 tackles (10 solo) and a sack in six games during the 2022 campaign and should have an ample opportunity to compete for playing time heading into the coming season.

  • Restructures contract

    Harris (groin) has accepted a reduced salary to remain with the Lions in 2023, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Harris was rewarded with a two-year, $14 million deal after his 7.5 sacks in 2021 made him seem like a good fit in Detroit. However, things went downhill in 2022 and the 2017 first-round pick will now have his base salary chopped by $3 million in 2023, which saves the Lions an equivalent amount in cap space.

  • Lands on IR

    The Lions placed Harris (groin) on injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Harris has missed five games this season due to a lingering groin injury, including Detroit's loss to the Bills on Thanksgiving Day. The 27-year-old will now be forced to sit out until at least Week 17 versus Chicago while recovering on injured reserve. Harris has recorded 14 tackles, one sack and one pass defended over six contests in 2022, and his absence should leave Austin Bryant and John Cominsky to take on bigger roles behind starting defensive ends Aidan Hutchinson and Josh Paschal…read more

  • Out Thursday

    Harris (groin) will not play in Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Harris was unable to participate in practice all week. The absence will mark his fifth straight game missed because of a groin injury. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 13 versus the Jaguars.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Harris appears to have aggravated a groin injury that has already cost him three games, and he will be sidelined again in Week 11. Josh Paschal (knee) is also out, so John Cominsky and Julian Okwara are prime candidates for sizable roles opposite Aidan Hutchinson along Detroit's defensive line.

  • Playing Sunday

    Harris (groin) is active Sunday against the Packers.

    Analysis: Harris hasn't suited up since Week 4 against the Seahawks. His return should be a boost to the Lions' pass rush against Green Bay.

  • Questionable, but practicing fully

    Harris (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Green Bay, but he was a full participant at practice Friday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: After missing three straight games with a groin injury he presumably sustained in Week 4 versus Seattle, Harris appears to be on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation ahead of Week 9. If he plays, he'll have a nice matchup against a Packers offensive line that's struggled up to this point in 2022.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Harris will miss a third straight contest due to a groin injury he presumably picked up during Week 4. In his absence, Josh Paschal, Austin Bryant, Julian Okwara and John Cominsky all figure to see modest roles along Detroit's defensive line.

  • Out again Sunday

    Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Harris missed Week 5 against the Jets due to the groin injury and remains sidelined coming off the Lions' bye. Austin Bryant should continue to handle an increased workload for Detroit this weekend.

  • Sidelined due to groin injury

    Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

    Analysis: Harris popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a groin injury and didn't practice Friday. He's garnered a sizable role for the Lions' defense this year, so his absence should open up plenty of additional snaps for Austin Bryant and Julian Okwara.

  • Still in prove-it mode

    Harris is still in "prove it" mode after signing a one-year contract with Detroit this offseason, Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick finally found his footing in Detroit last year after looking like a bust in Miami and Atlanta. While it would be hard for Harris to top the 7.5 sacks he totaled last year if he can't match the 836 snaps he needed to get there, the likelihood that Romeo Okwara (Achilles) will begin the regular season on the PUP list almost guarantees that Harris will begin the year as a starting defensive end opposite Aidan Hutchinson.

  • Should benefit from scheme change

    Harris is expected to see increased pass-rushing opportunities in 2022 due to Detroit's transition to a 4-3 base defense, Mike O'Hara of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Harris notched 7.5 sacks and 16 QB hits while playing mostly as an outside linebacker in Detroit's 3-4 system in 2021. Not only should he get more work at defensive end going forward, but the departure of Trey Flowers combines with the recovery of Romeo Okwara (Achilles) to possibly make Harris the team's most reliable pass rusher to open the season.

  • Signs two-year deal with Detroit

    Harris agreed to sign a two-year contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Harris, who was drafted in the first round by the Dolphins in 2017, thrived in Detroit during the 2021 campaign. Across 17 appearances last year, he registered 65 tackles and 7.5 sacks, which nearly doubled the total number of tackles and sacks that he had accrued in his previous four seasons combined. The 27-year-old linebacker figures to be a key piece for the Lions defense in 2022.

  • Resurgent 2021 season with Detroit

    Harris recorded 65 tackles, 7.5 sacks and two forced fumbles over 17 games in 2021.

    Analysis: After flaming out as a first-round pick in Miami and then finding modest success as a reserve in Atlanta, Harris thrived in Detroit while nearly doubling the number of tackles and sacks he accrued in his previous four seasons combined. The Missouri product consequently seems like an obvious candidate for Detroit to retain in the offseason, though it seems possible that the 26-year-old could have a strong market for his services when Harris hits unrestricted free agency in March.

  • Monster performance in upset win

    Harris notched 12 tackles (seven solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 30-12 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: After never recording more than six tackles in a game this season, Harris exploded for a season-high 12 stops Sunday. He also has 3.5 sacks over his last three games and 6.5 on the season. The 2017 first-round pick is picking up steam for the stretch run and will have a favorable matchup against the Falcons in Week 16.

  • Two sacks against Minnesota

    Harris recorded two sacks during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Harris notched his first sack since Week 5 and now has six on the season. The 26-year-old linebacker's fantasy production depends on him getting after the quarterback, something at which he has been inconsistent this season. However, he does have a favorable matchup against Denver (24th in sacks allowed per game) in Week 14.

  • Full practice Thursday

    Harris (oblique) practiced in full Thursday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker suffered an oblique injury in Week 6 against the Bengals, ultimately causing him to be limited to begin the week. With his full participation Thursday, he appears on track to suit up Sunday against the Rams. Harris has racked up 17 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in six contests to open 2021.

  • Dealing with oblique injury

    Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Harris is considered day-to-day with an oblique injury, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Harris didn't return to Sunday's game against the Bengals after he sustained his injury late in the fourth quarter. He totaled five tackles (four solo) prior to his early exit and appears to have a chance to suit up against the Rams on Sunday.

  • Suffers hip problem

    Harris (hip) left Sunday's game against the Bengals and didn't return.

    Analysis: Harris left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the coming days will be key to determine the severity of the injury. He should be treated as questionable for next week's contest against the Rams.

  • Inks deal with Lions

    Harris agreed to a contract with the Lions on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: For a Falcons defense that struggled to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks in 2020, Harris tied for third on the team with a career-high three sacks. It's apparent enough the former Missouri standout hasn't thus far lived up to his being selected No. 22 overall in the 2017 draft, but the 26-year-old's stock is trending up as he takes his career to Detroit. Harris had just 1.5 sacks over 25 games in 2018 and 2019 combined.

  • Notches sack against Saints

    Harris registered two tackles, including one sack, and one pass deflection during Sunday's 24-9 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Harris kicked off the season with sacks in each of his first two appearances Weeks 3 and 4, but he subsequently endured a drought of five games in that category. Harris' second-quarter takedown of Taysom Hill snapped the streak, simultaneously handing the 25-year-old his second consecutive outing with a QB hit. Next for Atlanta in Week 12 is a matchup against a Raiders offensive line that is tied for the fifth-fewest sacks allowed in 2020.

  • Ejected on Thursday night

    Harris was disqualified during the third quarter of Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers for a helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

    Analysis: Carolina's signal-caller got tripped by Dante Fowler and was in the process of falling to the ground on a third-down play with 4:20 to go in the third quarter, but Harris plunged into Bridgewater, initiating cringe-worthy helmet-to-helmet contact. Upon review, the officiating crew ruled Harris' tackle to be malicious enough to merit ejection, ending the 25-year-old's night at a total of zero tackles. The play will certainly undergo review from NFL offices, at which point further discipline may…read more

  • Logs sack for second straight game

    Harris collected two tackles, including a sack of Aaron Rodgers during Monday's 30-16 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old defensive end corralled Rodgers to the ground at the 7:24 mark of the fourth quarter, surprising the eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback from the blind side and collecting his second sack in as many games. Harris is adding much-needed life to a Falcons pass rush that so far is tied for 23rd in the league with 1.8 sacks per game.

  • Collects sack in Falcons debut

    Harris registered one sack and two total tackles during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick made his Atlanta debut after missing Weeks 1 and 2 because of an ankle injury, and he got involved immediately by recording one of two Falcons sacks on the afternoon. Harris managed just half a sack over 14 appearances last year during what would be the final year of his disappointing Miami tenure, but he's off to a productive start as a pass rusher with his new team. Week 4 presents a challenging matchup on Monday night, as the Packers have allowed a league-low two…read more

  • Set for return

    Harris (ankle) is slated to play Sunday against the Bears, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round draft choice is set to face off against a Bears offensive line that is situated near the middle of the NFL with 2.5 sacks per game but ranks fourth-best leaguewide in stuffed rate (10 percent). An appearance against Chicago would mark Harris' Falcons debut as he missed Weeks 1 and 2 due to injury.

  • Out against Cowboys

    Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick is looking for a fresh start in Atlanta, but he'll have to wait until Week 3 to make his season debut. Once he's ready to return, Harris will contribute as depth at defensive end.

  • Still sidelined by injury

    Harris (ankle) did not participate during Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Harris was unable to suit up for Sunday's season opener against the Seahawks, providing him with his eighth missed games over a possible 33 appearances since the start of the 2018 campaign. The 2017 No. 22 overall draft choice will slot back into a depth defensive end role once able to return to action, but it's unclear whether that will occur in time for him to be activated for a Week 2 matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Ruled out for Sunday

    Harris (ankle) will be unavailable for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Harris was unable to practice all week, so it's unsurprising that he'll watch from the sidelines Sunday. The 2017 first-round pick has a ton to prove this season after he recorded just 3.5 sacks over his first three NFL seasons and the Falcons declined to pick up his fifth-year option, so a quick return to the field would be ideal for the defensive end.

  • Dealing with injury

    Harris (ankle) did not participate during Monday's practice session, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick started in just eight of his 41 regular-season appearances as a Dolphin, generating a meager 3.5 combined sacks during that span. Now secured on the Falcons' 53-man roster as a depth option at defensive end, Harris' status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks remains questionable, as he has yet to make an appearance on the practice field this week.

  • Atlanta skipping fifth-year option

    The Falcons will decline Harris' fifth-year option for 2021, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was acquired from the Dolphins on Friday in exchange for a seventh-round pick, and it's no surprise to see his new team declining the option. Harris, a 2017 first-round pick, had only 61 total tackles and 3.5 sacks in 41 contests with Miami, and he'll have one season in Atlanta to establish his value before hitting free agency.

  • Dealt to Falcons

    Harris was traded by the Dolphins to the Falcons for a seventh-round pick on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The former first-round pick underwhelmed through his first three professional seasons, leading Miami to part ways with him for next to nothing. Harris, 24, has 3.5 career sacks in 41 games. He'll have to battle for a roster spot as a situational pass-rusher in Atlanta.

  • Another disappointing season

    Harris notched 23 tackles (11 solo) and a half sack across 14 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: Harris has now struggled to compile anything resembling consistency as a run stopper for three straight seasons, leading to the Dolphins listing him as a healthy scratch for two of the final three games of 2019. He kicked off the year as a starting linebacker, but his role quickly diminished to a rotational/depth gig. The 2017 first-round pick will enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2020, though it does include a fifth-year option.

    Harris (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Harris didn't suit up in last week's game for the same reason and will miss is second straight clash. The 2017 first-round pick has a disappointing 19 tackles (eight solo) and one sack this year.

  • Sitting Week 15

    Harris (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Harris saw only 33 defensive snaps over the last two games and is now a healthy scratch for the Dolphins. The 24-year-old has only a half-sack this season and only 3.5 sacks in his career, and he's yet to live up to his billing as a first-round pick in 2017.
