NAJEE HARRIS NEWS

11 touches in blowout loss Harris rushed eight times for 23 yards and caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Harris was victimized by another poor game script when the Steelers found themselves in a 31-3 hole at halftime. The rookie back has been steadily utilized as a receiver out of the backfield this season -- averaging 4.9 receptions per game heading into this contest -- but he wasn't able to gain traction in either facet of the offensive gameplan against Cincinnati. Harris is still the clear workhorse in Pittsburgh's backfield, so he should resume seeing higher usage rates if the team can simply keep games closer. They will attempt to do that in another important AFC North showdown against the Ravens next Sunday.

TD saves quiet game Harris rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding 20 yards on five receptions (six targets) in Sunday's 41-37 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Harris struggled to gain traction early in the contest, then fell victim to an unfavorable game script. The 12 carries were his second-lowest total this year, and the 4.0 yards per catch marked a new season low. Harris had to briefly leave the game to be evaluated for a concussion in the fourth quarter, but he was quickly reinstated and finished the contest. Harris will look to bounce back in a crucial AFC North showdown against the Bengals next Sunday.

Totals 133 yards Harris recorded 105 yards on 26 carries in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Detroit. He added four receptions on four targets for 28 yards.

Impact Despite a dismal offensive performance overall, Harris was a bright spot for Pittsburgh. He topped 100 yards on the ground for the second time this season, highlighted by three rushes of 10 or more yards. Harris also turned in more than two receptions for the fourth consecutive game, effectively serving as a dump off option for Mason Rudolph. Harris has now topped 25 total touches in four consecutive games, and he will remain a focal point of the Steelers' offense in Week 11 against the Chargers.

Cleared for Week 10 Harris (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions after returning to a full practice Friday.

Impact Harris was limited by a foot injury Thursday but was a full-go at practice Friday, which sets the stage for the running back, who is averaging 18.8 carries per game, to continue to head the Pittsburgh backfield Week 10. In the process, he's looking at a favorable matchup, at home against an 0-8 Detroit team that thus far has surrendered rushing yards at a clip of 134.5 per game.

Added to injury report Harris was limited at Thursday's practice due to a foot injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, this marks Harris' first appearance on the team's injury report this season and given that he worked fully Wednesday, it's possible the running back's foot issue is a product of Thursday's session. In any case, Harris' status is now worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Lions approaches. Through eight games, the 2021 first-rounder has racked up 150 carries. In that span, no other Pittsburgh back has logged more than 10 carries.
