EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris ran and participated in drills with a football for the first time this training camp, doing so off to the side with an athletic trainer during Tuesday's practice.
Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said Harris suffered a "superficial eye injury" after a July 4 fireworks mishap, which landed Harris on the non-football injury/illness list ahead of training camp. Hendrickson said he expected Harris to be ready for the season.
The Chargers have not disclosed Harris' injury, a standard practice of coach Jim Harbaugh in the preseason and training camp, when teams aren't requiredby the NFL to produce injury reports.
The progression to running and doing football drills at practice is a positive sign for Harris and the Charge
