N'KEAL HARRY NEWS

One catch in Week 7 Harry recorded 30 of a possible 76 snaps on offense in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Harry, who was out-snapped by fellow wideouts Jakobi Meyers (59), Nelson Agholor (43) and Kendrick Bourne (41), wound up catching one of his two targets for 28 yards in the contest. For now, he's the team's clear No. 4 WR option, a context that keeps the 2019 first-rounder off the fantasy lineup radar.

Logs 21 snaps in Week 6 Harry was on the field for 21 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Though Harry was actually in the Patriots' starting lineup Sunday, he wasn't targeted in the contest and was out-snapped by fellow wideouts Jakobi Meyers (34), Nelson Agholor (32)and Kendrick Bourne (25). With just two catches on three targets for 19 yards in three games, the 2019 first-rounder is off the fantasy radar until or unless his role in New England's offense increasing in the coming weeks.

One catch in Week 5 Harry was on the field for 22 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the process, Harry caught one of his two targets for nine yards. As long as the 2019 first-rounder continues to be out-snapped by Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, his fantasy value will remain limited. That said Harry's role could grow in the coming weeks if any of the aforementioned trio misses time as the season progresses.

One catch in return to action Harry logged 15 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

Impact In his 2021 season debut, Harry, who came off IR on Saturday, was out-snapped by Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, en route to catching his only target for 10 yards. For now, the 2019 first-rounder is off the fantasy radar, but now that he's past the shoulder issue that sidelined him early on, Harry's role in the offense could grow in the coming weeks, especially in the event that either Meyers, Agholor or Bourne end up missing time down the road for any reason.

OCTOBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Making season debut Harry (shoulder) is active for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact For now, Harry, who was activated from IR in advance of Week 4 action, slots in behind Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Down the road, however, Harry's size and ability to make contested catches give him a degree of red-zone upside, but steady snaps and volume figure to be hard to come by in his current role. With that in mind, a wait-and-see approach is in order as it relates to using him in fantasy lineups.

Eligible to play Sunday Harry (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve and is eligible to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact It'll be interesting to see what kind of role Harry will have within the offense after injuring his shoulder during the preseason. The offense under Mac Jones has been relatively reserved as last week saw just the second touchdown pass thrown through three games. A complicating offseason which saw Harry request a trade, rescind said request and then earn a rare series of compliments from coach Bill Belichick, all before injuring his shoulder in a preseason contest, leaves a bit of ambiguity regarding the 2019 first-round pick's status within the offense.

Returns to practice Harry (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday. Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact This marks the wideout's first practice since injuring his shoulder in Week 2 of the preseason. The Patriots now have a 21-day window to add Harry to their 53-man roster. Assuming that occurs, the 2019 first-rounder will bolster a WR corps currently headed by Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could return to practice this week Coach Bill Belichick said Monday that it's "definitely a possibility" that Harry (shoulder) will return to practice this week, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Harry began the regular season on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury during the team's second preseason game Aug. 19. He initially carried a four-week recovery timetable, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to practice this week. Belichick said the team will know more about the receiver's status in the coming days, but he could have a chance to carve out a larger role in New England's offense this year after he impressed early in camp.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Officially on IR Harry (shoulder) has been placed on IR by the Patriots.

Impact As a result, the 2019 first-rounder won't be eligible to return to action until Week 4 at the earliest, but a stint on IR will give the wideout the time that he needs to recover from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him of late. Once Harry makes his way back to the active roster, he'll bolster a New England wideout corps that currently features Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne. Harry's chances of emerging as a fantasy option at that point largely will hinge on the aforementioned trio's health and level of effectiveness, as well as his ability to gain chemistry with rookie starting QB Mac Jones.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for IR The Patriots will place Harry (shoulder) on injured reserve in the coming days, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

Impact Once the move is official, the wideout won't be eligible to return to action until Week 4 at the earliest, but a stint on IR should give Harry the time he needs to recover from a shoulder injury. When he rejoins the roster, the 2019 first-round pick will rejoin a New England wideout corps currently headed by Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss time Harry (shoulder) is expected to miss about four weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Under that timetable, it doesn't look like Harry will be available for Week 1 action, and if his injury is slow to heal it's possible that he could spend some time on IR out of the gate this season. When healthy, the 2019 first-rounder will look to carve out a role in the Patriots' wideout corps behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne.

No structural damage in shoulder Harry doesn't have any structural damage in his left shoulder, but his recovery timeline is week-to-week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Harry landed on the shoulder after he was unable to haul in a Mac Jones pass down the left sideline late in the first half of Thursday's preseason win at Philadelphia. Afterward, Harry was seen with his left arm in a sling, which was a precaution, according to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus. A period of rest has been ordered up for Harry, so it appears he may not be a consideration for game action until the regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 12 against the Dolphins.

Seen in sling Harry (undisclosed) was seen leaving Lincoln Financial Field in a sling following Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harry left the contest late in the first half after laying out in an attempt to make a catch deep down the field. He landed hard on his left shoulder, though the team has yet to provide any information on his status. That Harry was wearing a sling confirms that the injury was to his upper body, though more information should emerge in the coming days.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hits locker room early Harry (undisclosed) went to the locker room late in the first half of Thursday's preseason contest at Philadelphia, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harry laid out and was unable to haul in a pass from Mac Jones, after which he landed hard on his left shoulder and remained on the turf for a spell. Following a brief visit to the sideline medical tent, Harry went to the locker room with the medical staff. The nature of his injury hasn't been divulged, but if he's unable to return he'll finish preseason Week 2 with one catch (on two targets) for 19 yards.

N'Keal Harry Trade Request Not Off Table Amid Camp, Per Patriots Writer N'Keal Harry has impressed Patriots coaches during training camp, but his trade request reportedly may still be honored before the season.

AUGUST 6, 2021 • NESN.COM

Strong effort in camp Harry has looked sharp in practice of late Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact Cox notes that the 2019 first-rounder "followed up his promising performance Tuesday by catching all six targets he saw in competitive team drills" during Wednesday's practice. Though Harry requested a trade last month, he reported for training camp on time, and thus far his on-field effort has been encouraging. While the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is probably behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne in the Patriots' wideout pecking order at this time, Harry could move up the ladder if he continues to shine in training camp, or alternatively if injuries end up factoring into the equation.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in training camp Harry, who requested a trade earlier this month, is in attendance for New England's training camp, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

Impact While it's still possible that the 2019 first-rounder could be moved, the 23-year-old indicated Friday that he'd "absolutely" be happy if he ended up staying with the team, noting that he's been focusing on improving his agility as opposed to "playing big." At this stage, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder presumably slots in behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne on the Patriots' wideout depth chart, but a strong summer and/or injuries could lead to a context that would allow Harry to stick around and potentially carve out a key role in the team's offense.

Likely attending camp Harry plans to attend Patriots training camp if he's still with the team, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.

Impact Harry's agent requested a trade last week, but it doesn't sound like the 2019 first-round pick will hold out if the Patriots keep him around. The team isn't likely to get much in a deal considering Harry has caught just 45 passes for 414 yards and four touchdowns in 21 NFL games. While there isn't a significant cap benefit to releasing him, the Patriots would clear up $1.4 million in 2021 cap space if they're able to work out a trade.

JULY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Asking for trade Harry's agent has requested a trade, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Patriots' busy offseason suggests they aren't expecting much from Harry, as the team signed WRs Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne in addition to TEs Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith. With Jakobi Meyers also returning and reportedly looking like the No. 1 receiver at spring practices, Harry might be only fourth or fifth on the depth chart when training camp opens. The 32nd overall pick from the 2019 NFL Draft has been a huge disappointment through two years, producing only 9.2 yards per catch and 5.4 YPT on 81 targets (21 games). Injuries and poor QB play have contributed to the struggles, but Harry's inability to get open has been just as much of a problem.

Practices Wednesday Harry (calf) return to practice Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harry, who appeared to tweak his right calf Tuesday, was back on the field Wednesday with no protective wrap on his lower leg. The 2019 first-round pick will now strive to maintain the momentum he had recently been building at OTAs and minicamp workouts. At this stage, he's probably behind Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Jakobi Meyers in the Patriots' wideout pecking order, but Harry's size (6-foot-4, 225 pounds) and ability to make contested catches give him a degree of red-zone upside.

JUNE 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tweaks calf Tuesday Harry appeared to tweak his right calf during Tuesday's practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact It remains to be seen if this is an issue that might hamper the wideout beyond Tuesday, but Harry, who reportedly had been building momentum this week per Howe, can ill afford a lengthy setback as he attempts to solidify his role in the Patriots offense following the team's offseason additions of Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. With returnee Jakobi Meyers also in the mix, Harry is currently competing for depth slotting with Gunner Olszewski, Marvin Hall, Isaiah Zuber, Kristian Wilkerson, Tre Nixon and Devin Smith. Since being taken in the first round of the 2019 draft, Harry has yet to establish himself as a consistent threat in the team's attack, and the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder may have to look sharp this summer just to retain his roster spot.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

May need to fight for roster spot Harry could be forced to fight for a 53-man roster spot with second-year undrafted wideouts Isaiah Zuber and Kristian Wilkerson, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact It's certainly been a steep fall from grace for Harry, who was selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He's also been the discussion of trade talks this offseason, so it's possible New England will elect to move on from him if they don't like what they see, giving him a fresh start elsewhere. If he ends up sticking in New England, Harry is far from a sure bet to see regular reps during the 2021 season.

JUNE 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Discussed in trade talks Teams have reached out to the Patriots to discuss acquiring Harry in a trade, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Marquise Brown and Harry were the two wide receivers selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, coming off the board before the likes of A.J. Brown, DK Metcalf, Deebo Samuel, Diontae Johnson and Terry McLaurin. While perhaps a bust relative to his classmates, Harry hasn't exactly been put in the best position to thrive, learning a complicated offense while dealing with injuries and poor quarterback play. It isn't clear if the Patriots are inclined to give him another shot, but it sounds like there will be some interest if they decide to shop him.
