Harris (concussion) has announced his retirement from the NFL, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris spent his first four seasons with the Patriots before suiting up for six games with the Bills in 2023. He had a limited role off the bench for the first six weeks before a scary injury involving his neck and a concussion sent him to injured reserve for the remainder of the season. As a result, the 27-year-old will opt to put his health first and retire at a relatively young age. He finishes his career with 2,485 yards from scrimmage and 21 touchdowns across 44 games.

Harris (head/neck) should be healthy before free agency begins this offseason, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2019 third-round pick signed a one-year contract with the Bills in March 2023 after spending his first four seasons with the division-rival Patriots. Harris then had a small role off the bench for the first six weeks of the season, before a scary head/neck injury sent him to injured reserve for the remainder of the year. He'll turn 27 in February, a month before he's scheduled to hit free agency again.

The Bills placed Harris (concussion/beck) on injured reserve Friday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris now is out for at least the next four games, making Sunday, Nov. 19 against the Jets (Week 11) his earliest possible date to return. The Bills signed Ty Johnson off their practice squad in a corresponding move to help with backfield depth behind James Cook and Latavius Murray.

Harris (concussion/neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was unable to practice this week, and he'll miss Sunday's game, at a minimum. In his absence, the Bills' Week 7 backfield will be led by James Cook and Latavius Murray, with Ty Johnson a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad.

Harris (concussion/neck) won't practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris, who is dealing with a concussion and a sprained neck, also missed Wednesday's walkthrough. If the running back ends up being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, James Cook and Latavius Murray would be in line to pretty much exclusively handle the Bills' Week 7 backfield duties.

Harris (concussion/neck) won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Harris is dealing with a concussion and a sprained neck after he was stretched off the field into an ambulance and transported to the hospital during Sunday's win over the Giants. If the running back is sidelined this weekend against the Patriots, James Cook and Latavius Murray could be in line for a few more carries than usual.

Harris sustained a concussion and a sprained neck during Sunday's 14-9 win versus the Giants, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was stretchered to a Buffalo-area hospital after taking a blow to the head during the second quarter of the Week 6 contest, and while he thankfully avoided any life-threatening injury, it seems like a long shot that he'd be able to suit up again in Week 7 at New England. Buffalo's practice reports over the week will provide more information on that front.

Harris (neck) was released from the hospital Monday and otherwise should be OK after he was taken off the field via ambulance in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants, Alaina Getzenberg and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com report.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was placed on a stretcher and taken to a Buffalo-area hospital after he sustained the neck injury on a short-yardage rushing attempt in the second quarter. Though he was on the ground for several moments before being removed from the field, Harris has full movement in his body and is believed to be dealing with nothing more than neck pain. Even so, it's unclear when Harris might be available to play again, meaning if he ends up sitting out the Bills' Week 7 game at New England on Sunday, Latavius Murray would be locked in as the clear No. 2 option behind starter James Cook.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Harris (neck) has full movement in his body and is "heading in a good direction," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris had to undergo medical evaluation at a local hospital after being forced out of Monday's game against the Giants. It's encouraging to hear that he's indeed demonstrated full movement of his extremities, but it's still too early to speculate on a potential recovery timeline for the veteran running back. James Cook and Latavius Murray are currently the only healthy RBs on Buffalo's active roster.

Harris has been diagnosed with a neck injury and won't return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports. Harris has movement in his arms and legs after leaving the game in an ambulance.

EDGE Analysis

This early report is encouraging after Harris was stretchered off in a scary scene, but further details will likely emerge after Harris is examined at a Buffalo-area hospital. The running back was injured on his only touch of the game.
