Damien Harris News
Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris announced his retirement from professional football on Monday at age 27. The Patriots selected Harris in the third round (87th overall) in the 2019 NFL draft out of Alabama, and he had 449 rushing attempts for 2,094 yards and 20 touchdowns in his four years in New England in 38 regular-season games (34 starts) while adding 40 receptions on 51 targets for an additional 281 receiving yards. Harris spent the 2023 campaign with the Buffalo Bills but played in only six games before suffering a season-ending concussion/neck injury that saw him be taken off the field in an ambulance. He'll end his NFL career after just five seasons, recording 2,188 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 427 carries with the Pats and Bills.
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane expects running back Damien Harris (head, neck) to be healthy for the start of free agency in March. Harris missed most of the 2023 season due to a serious neck injury that forced him to be taken off the field in an ambulance in Week 6 against the New York Giants. The 26-year-old had a small role off the bench in Buffalo in six games before his season-ending injury, carrying the ball just 23 times for 94 yards and one touchdown while catching two passes for an extra 16 yards. The soon-to-be 27-year-old will be back on the open market looking to prove he's recovered from his injury and ready to give another team some backfield depth. A thigh injury limited Harris to 11 games in his final season with the New England Patriots in 2022, so he's likely to have a small role wherever he lands.
Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris (neck, concussion) has been placed on injured reserve. He will miss a minimum of four games. In a corresponding move, running back Ty Johnson was elevated from the practice squad. Harris had been splitting time with Latavius Murray as depth options behind James Cook, but he will now miss extended time after exiting Week 6 and being taken to the hospital with a serious upper-body injury. Harris was discharged the next day, but his road to recovery will still take some time. Placing the 26-year-old on IR gives Murray sole possession of the No. 2 role while Johnson occupies the third-string role.
