Impact Harris notched his first sack since Week 5 and now has six on the season.

However, he does have a favorable matchup against Denver (24th in sacks allowed per game) in Week 14.

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

Impact 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, one sack and one pass deflection during Sunday's 24-9 loss to New Orleans.

Impact 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 without capturing another. 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.

Impact 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 be dealt out to Harris.
