Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris sustained an Achilles injury during the team's 23-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game.
Harbaugh said the preliminary tests will be followed by additional testing to determine the severity of Harris' injury to his left leg.
Harris sustained the injury in the second quarter when he planted his left leg into the artificial surface while in the backfield then fell to the ground in a non-contact injury. Harris exited the field on a cart and his status to return was announced as questionable before he was ruled out for the remainder of the game coming out of halftime.
Harris had six carries for 28 yards in the game, with the 27-year-old gaining 61 yards on 15 carries in three games of his first season with the Chargers. He also has three receptions for 25 yards this season.
In five career seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2021-24) and Chargers, he has 4,373 yards on 1,212 carries with 28 touchdowns. He also has 183 receptions for 1,174 yards and six TDs.
Harris was a Pro Bowl selection in his rookie season of 2021 after he was a first-round draft pick by the Steelers out of Alabama.
