CHRISTIAN HARRIS NEWS

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

Impact 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 likely 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.

Won't return for Week 6 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.

Impact 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.

Out until Week 5 Harris (calf) was placed on the Texans' injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return

Impact Harris entered training camp on the heels of an impressive sophomore campaign, during which he accrued 101 tackles (65 solo), including 2.0 sacks, seven passes defended and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games. 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 will now be forced to sit out for the first four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 5 against the Bills on Oct. 6. Jake Hansen will operate as the Texans' top inside linebacker while Harris is sidelined.

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

Impact 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. If Harries does miss the Texans' regular-season opener, expect Jake Hansen to work as the team's top inside linebacker.

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.

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.
