News

  • Returns to full practice

    Harris (shin) practiced in full Thursday.

    Analysis: Harris was inactive in Week 10 against Jacksonville but logged full practice sessions Thursday and Friday. He should return to action and contribute primarily on special teams Sunday against the Titans.

  • Won't play vs. Jacksonville

    Harris (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: A shin injury prevented Harris from practicing all week, and he will miss Sunday's AFC South tilt as a result. He's mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence means Jake Hansen and Jamal Hill will serve as the backup outside linebackers for Houston behind E.J. Speed and Henry To'oTo'o.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Harris (shin) didn't participate in Houston's practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Harris is still dealing with the shin injury that forced him to exit early from the team's Week 9 loss to the Broncos. Jake Hansen and Jamal Hill would likely see increased playing time Sunday versus Jacksonville if Harris ends up being unable to suit up.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Harris has a shin injury and will not return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

  • Won't play against Baltimore

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

    Analysis: Harris worked in a rotational role at outside linebacker and contributed on special teams through the first four games of the regular season, but the 2022 third-rounder will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game in Baltimore. Jake Hansen and E.J. Speed should see a slight increase in defensive snaps in Harris' absence.

  • Suits up Saturday

    Harris recorded two tackles in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Harris has been sidelined sporadically this offseason by a calf injury that has lingered for the better part of the last calendar year. It's hard to trust his ability to stay on the field as a result, but he should rack up tackles as a key player in the middle of Houston's defense so long as he's healthy.

  • Dealing with calf injury

    Harris will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers due to a calf injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Harris will miss a second preseason game while working through a calf injury. He's been ramping up his activity in practices, though he's been held out of team drills and limited to positional work. Harris' practice participation next week will play a factor in whether he suits up against the Lions on Saturday, Aug. 23.

  • Practicing in full again

    Harris (calf) was a full participant at Monday's training camp practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Harris missed all but five of Houston's 20 combined regular-season and postseason games in 2024 due to a calf injury he suffered prior to the season, but it now seems like he may finally be fully recovered. When he's at full strength, he projects as a starter at linebacker next to Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Harris (calf) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Johnathan M. Alexander and Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Harris is still dealing with the calf injury that forced him to miss 13 regular-season games last year. The 24-year-old will likely remain sidelined until he's fully healthy and will serve as one of the team's top rotational pass rushers once he returns.

  • Out until training camp

    Harris (calf) is expected back for training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Harris suffered a calf injury last summer and missed the first 13 games of the 2024 season. He was able to return for Week 15 and also played in both of the Texans' postseason contests. The linebacker still isn't fully healthy however, although the team believes he will be ready for Week 1. Harris projects to be the Texans' top depth option behind starters Henry To'oTo'o and Azeez Al-Shaair.

  • Limited by injuries in 2024

    Harris finished the 2024 regular season with 20 total tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across three games.

    Analysis: Harris suffered a calf injury in July, and failed to appear in a game until Week 15 as a result. The linebacker did compile an impressive 20 takedowns in the three regular-season games he appeared in and he'll look to return to form in 2025.

  • Set to suit up Saturday

    Harris (ankle) is not among Houston's inactives for Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Harris has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past three weeks and didn't play in the regular-season finale versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log a pair of full practices to end this week, setting him up to return to action Saturday. With Harris active and likely to start, Neville Hewitt may see less snaps on defense against Los Angeles.

  • Questionable vs. Bolts

    Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Harris was able to end the week with consecutive full practices, so it appears that he is trending toward playing Saturday after being sidelined for the Texans' Week 18 win over the Titans. Unless he suffers a setback, Harris should start at linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o while Neville Hewitt, Jake Hansen and Devin White provide rotational depth.

    Harris (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Harris was held out of the Texans' Week 18 win against the Titans due to a lingering ankle injury. His full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he should be at or near full health for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers. Harris missed the first 13 games of the regular season due to a calf injury, and in the three games he did play he accrued 20 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

  • Limited participant in practice

    Harris (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: The outside linebacker missed Houston's season finale against Tennessee after logging a trio of limited practices last week, but that decision was likely a precaution with the Texans locked into the AFC's No. 4 seed. Harris' status will still be worth monitoring as the practice week continues ahead of Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Chargers.

    Harris (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

    Analysis: The starting outside linebacker played through the injury last week and then logged a trio of limited practices in the week leading up to this game. His inactive status is likely a precaution ahead of wild-card weekend with the Texans locked into the No. 4 seed in the AFC. Neville Hewitt could see more snaps in his absence Sunday.

    Harris (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Harris logged a trio of limited practices this week and was able to play through the questionable tag last week versus Baltimore, as Harris logged five tackles (four solo) on 70 percent of the defensive snaps in a 31-2 blowout loss.

  • Good to go Saturday

    Harris (ankle) is active for Saturday's Week 16 clash against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Harris popped up on Houston's injury report Thursday when he didn't practice due to an ankle issue after having no designation for each of the first two sessions of the week. Despite the ominous late addition, the third-year linebacker will be able to take the field in Saturday's big AFC battle. Harris made his season debut last Sunday versus Miami following recovery from a calf injury and played 82 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps, recording eight tackles (four solo).

  • Pops up on Thursday's injury report

    Harris did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Harris had been sidelined for Houston's first 13 games of the regular season due to a calf injury. He made his 2024 regular-season debut against the Dolphins this past Sunday and finished with eight tackles (four solo). However, Harris made an appearance on Thursday's injury report, indicating that he may have injured his ankle during practice. That puts his status for Saturday's game in doubt, and whether he plays may not be known until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff…read more

    Harris registered eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Harris missed the Texans' first 13 games of the 2024 regular season due to a calf injury he suffered in July. He ended up playing 51 defensive snaps Sunday and finished as the Texans' third-leading tackler behind Henry To'oTo'o (11) and Jimmie Ward (nine). Harris should see plenty of defensive snaps over the next two games due to the three-game suspension of Azeez Al-Shaair.

    Analysis: Harris has yet to suit up this season after injuring his calf during practice in July. The third-year linebacker was designated to return from IR on Dec. 9, though he has yet to be activated.

    Analysis: Harris has been sidelined with the calf injury since early October, but he'll now be able to return to practice. The Texans will have a 21-day window during which they can evaluate Harris for potential activation to the 53-man roster, but he could return as soon as Sunday against the Dolphins if he demonstrates enough progress during the Week 15 prep.

  • Could be back soon

    General Manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that Harris (calf) may be back "sooner rather than later," Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Harris has not been able to play at all this season due to a soft-tissue calf injury, but he's eligible to be activated from injured reserve as soon as Week 15 (after Houston's Week 14 bye). With teammate Azeez Al-Shaair having been issued a three-game suspension Tuesday for a brutal hit on quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Harris could be in line for a significant role as soon as he's available again.

  • Remaining sidelined

    Harris (calf) will not be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Harris has been dealing with the injury since training camp and with another week on the shelf expected, it's not clear when he'll return to the field. His continued absence will leave the Texans without their expected starter at middle linebacker and Jake Hansen to continue handling that role in Week 8 against the Colts.

    Harris (calf) will remain on the Texans' injured reserve list until after Sunday's game at New England, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Harris became eligible to return from the injured reserve list ahead Week 5, but he'll now apparently need to sit out at least one more game as he works through a calf issue. Until he's able to return, 2023 fifth-rounder Henry To'oTo'o should continue to see an increased workload.

He injured his calf early in training camp, which was severe enough to keep him out of all four of the Texans' preseason games.

    Harris (calf) is in jeopardy of missing the Texans' Week 1 game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Houston's top middle linebacker has been dealing with a calf issue since late July, and it now appears that this injury could sideline him for Houston's Week 1 contest.

  • Dealing with leg injury

    Harris has missed the team's last three practices due to a soft-tissue leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker was a revelation for Houston in the latter half of the team's playoff campaign, as Harris tallied 75 tackles, 2.0 sacks and an interception in his final nine games including the playoffs. While the lack of specific details regarding the injury is noteworthy, it doesn't sound as if the team expects Harris to be limited entering Week 1 come early September.

  • Finishes strong

    Harris recorded 101 tackles, seven for a loss, two sacks and a forced fumble over 16 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: After being a part-timer for the first half of the season, Harris earned more playing time over the second half and finished second on the club in tackles. He also had a pick-six in Houston's postseason win over Cleveland. Harris still has two years remaining on his rookie deal and should return as a starter at outside linebacker.

  • Takes pick to house

    Harris recorded eight tackles (two for loss), including one sack, and a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown in Saturday's 45-14 wild-card playoff win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Harris' pick-six followed one by teammate Steven Nelson in the third quarter and essentially put this game to bed. Houston led 38-14 and cruised from there. The interception was Harris' first in 2023 and second of his career.

  • Houston's leading tackler vs. Jags

    Harris recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 24-21 loss versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Harris played a season-high 66 defensive snaps in Week 12 and managed a double-digit tackle total for the first time since Week 4 versus the Steelers. It seems he may have overtaken Henry To'oTo'o as the Texans' second-most used linebacker behind Blake Cashman, and that would put him on the IDP radar for a Week 13 matchup versus the Broncos.

  • Gets questionable tag

    Harris (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

    Analysis: Harris logged a full workload at Friday's practice after consecutive days as a limited participant, so he is trending in the right direction. Still, he will need to officially clear the league's concussion protocol in order to suit up. Some combination of Cory Littleton and Jake Hansen would presumably replace his snaps at outside linebacker should he not ultimately get the green light.

  • Productive in loss

    Harris recorded six tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 25-9 loss at Baltimore.

    Analysis: Another encouraging sign for Harris is that he was on the field for a large chunk of Houston's defensive snaps in Week 1 (41). The Texans got a heavy dose of the run against the Ravens in Week 1 and should see more of the same when they welcome Indianapolis to town in Week 2.

  • Massive outing Week 16

    Harris recorded 14 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Harris was one of four Houston defenders to log double-digit tackles, as the team struggled to get off the field against Kansas City's potent offense. This allowed the rookie linebacker to set career highs in tackles and defensive snaps (76). Harris has now totaled 55 tackles and two passes defended while playing every defensive snap in five of his nine games this season, and he'll likely serve an important role in slowing down starting Titans running back Derrick Henry in Week 16.
