INJURIES

Returning to action in Week 10 Harris (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against Atlanta.
Impact Harris was activated from injured reserve Saturday after missing four games due to a hamstring issue. He'll return to the field Sunday and will likely play a major role in the Saints' secondary after playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps over the first four weeks of the campaign.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Activated off IR The Saints activated Harris (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Harris finished the week off strong with consecutive full practices, and his activation off IR indicates he should suit up Sunday against the Falcons. Harris has missed the Saints' last four regular-season games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5 against the Chiefs. In the four games prior to the injury, he logged 14 tackles (11 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception).
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Sunday Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
Impact The Boston College product logged a LP/FP/FP practice schedule this week, so it appears he is trending toward playing Sunday. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football also reports that he expects Harris to return in Week 10 after missing the Saints' last four games with a hamstring issue. However, Harris must still be activated to the Saints' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If he's not activated, expect Jordan Howden to serve as New Orleans' top strong safety.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Designated to return Harris (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Harris sustained a hamstring injury in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs that has sidelined him since. However, the 28-year-old's practice window opened Wednesday, suggesting that he's nearing a return to the field. Harris now has a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, but he must be activated to the Saints' active roster in order play.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on IR The Saints placed Harris (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Harris hurt his hamstring last Monday against the Chiefs and didn't practice at all this week. With the injury deemed serious enough to warrant Harris' placement on IR, the safety will need to sit out New Orleans' next four contests. Johnathan Abram played the majority of snaps following Harris' departure from Monday's game and could start Sunday versus Tampa Bay, though Jordan Howden is also a possibility for the role.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Missing Week 6 Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact New Orleans' top strong safety was unable to practice all week after exiting Monday night's loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring issue. With Harris missing his first game of the season, both Jordan Howden and J.T. Gray could see increased snaps alongside Tyrann Mathieu in the Saints' secondary in Week 6.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Wednesday Harris (hamstring) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Saints' walkthrough Wednesday.
Impact Harris suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's 26-13 loss to Kansas City and he was forced to miss the team's opening session of the week as a result. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers. If he's ultimately ruled out, Jordan Howden would likely step into a starting role in the secondary for New Orleans.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Exits game Monday Harris exited New Orleans' matchup versus the Chiefs on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.
Impact Harris suffered an undisclosed injury in the first half resulting in him being carted off the field. Jordan Howden is now filling in at safety for the Saints in Harris' place.
OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Taking the field Harris (shin) is active Sunday against the Eagles.
Impact Harris was unable to practice Thursday due to the injury but returned in limited fashion Friday. The Boston College product should start at safety next to Tyrann Mathieu.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Week 3 Harris (shin) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Harris sustained the shin injury during practice this week, which caused him to miss Thursday's session. His participation in Friday's practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- has given him a chance at playing Sunday. If Harris is unable to play, then Jordan Howden would be most likely to start at strong safety alongside free safety Tyrann Mathieu.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with shin injury Harris (shin) did not participate in Thursday's practice session.
Impact Harris was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but it appears he is now dealing with a shin injury. That puts him in jeopardy of missing Week 3 against the Eagles, and his practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game. If Harris is unable to suit up, then Jordan Howden would be the likely candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Tyrann Mathieu.

Picks off Young in blowout win Harris finished Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers with two tackles and one interception.
Impact Harris picked off the first pass attempt from quarterback Bryce Young on a throw intended for Diontae Johnson, and that turnover led to a 57-yard field goal from Blake Grupe four plays later. Even with the Saints leading by a large margin in the second half, Harris finished the game as the only New Orleans defender to play all 55 defensive snaps. The 2019 third-round pick and the Saints' secondary will face a much tougher challenge in Week 2 against the Cowboys.
