Steelers’ Najee Harris Escapes Serious Abdominal Injury, per Report

The running back left Monday night’s game early against the Colts.

During the Steelers’ Monday night 24–17 win over the Colts, running back Najee Harris left the game early with an abdominal injury.

Luckily for the Steelers, Harris reportedly escaped any serious injury concern, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Wednesday.

“Despite the abdominal injury that he suffered, not considered to be a major injury,” Rapoport said on Wednesday’s NFL Now. “His status this week is best described as ‘up in the air.’”

The Steelers also plan to evaluate Harris towards the end of the week to determine is availability for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons, Rapoport noted. At this time, the running back is questionable but not ruled out.
