Najee Harris was cleared for full-contact practice after a July 4 eye injury and aims to play in the Chargers' season opener against the Chiefs in Brazil, Coach Harbaugh said.
- On Monday, Coach Jim Harbaugh said Najee Harris is cleared for full-contact practice, which could let him play Friday in São Paulo, Brazil, against the Kansas City Chiefs.

- Harris said his vision wasn't affected and called the injury `superficial`, maintaining his streak of 68 consecutive NFL starts over four seasons.
- If Harris can't play, rookie Omarion Hampton would start and receive the bulk of snaps, and even with Harris returning, Hampton is expected to lead the Chargers rushing committee this year.
