  • On Aug. 12 Najee Harris, Los Angeles Chargers running back, rejoined practice in a limited role with individual drills, and Joe Horitz said he was `on track` to return.
  • Asked about Week 1, Coach Jim Harbaugh called Najee Harris a `possibility` to play, which would keep his consecutive-games streak alive and share carries with rookie Omarion Hampton.
  • The Chargers signed Najee Harris to a one-year, $9.5 million deal in March after he rushed for at least 1,000 yards in four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he projects to split carries with Omarion Hampton.
