Najee Harris

How our call moved this week

• our call, P(plays)

97% EXPECTED → 98% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him this week, earliest first, as written.

In short

Najee Harris is in the rotation at running back for NYG — 22% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a ribs injury. His team named him inactive in week 1. This week he practised in full every day the report covers. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 98%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 78 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade B

Both the club-affiliated beat report and the national outlet list Harris as a FULL participant on the Wed 14 Oct report with only a ribs issue, on the very same report where five teammates did not practice at all and four were limited, so the club is clearly distinguishing severity (P1, P2). No passage carries a game-status designation, a setback, a limitation, or any coaching caution about the rib injury, so nothing written contradicts the PLAY call (P2). The only other document is a club transactions log that merely records his 18 August free-agent signing and says nothing about availability (P3). It would need to know: Friday 16 Oct and Saturday 17 Oct Giants practice/injury report entries for Najee Harris (ribs); The final game-status designation (Out/Doubtful/Questionable/none) on the Saturday report for the Sunday 18 Oct Saints game; Any Brian Daboll comment on Harris's ribs, workload or snap limit for Sunday; Status of Tyrone Tracy Jr. / other Giants RBs, which could change Harris's rotational role or prompt a rest decision; Sunday 18 Oct inactives list once published
