Harris (illness), officially listed as questionable, is unlikely to suit up Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris failed to practice Wednesday and Thursday prior to logging a limited session Friday. Nevertheless, it appears that he has not made enough progress recovering from an illness to suit up Sunday, which would mark his second absence in the last four games. If Harris is in fact inactive, Rhamondre Stevenson should see a heavy workload.

Harris (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after being deemed a limited practice participant Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Previous reports relayed that Harris wasn't initially spotted at practice Friday, but evidently the running back was able to get some work in after all, thus giving him a chance to suit up this weekend. If, however, Harris ends up not being available for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line for an increased workload Week 9.

EDGE Analysis

Harris also missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Colts. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the running back has a chance to play this weekend, but if he's out or limited, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line to see added touches, with Pierre Strong (hamstring) and Kevin Harris on hand in reserve.

EDGE Analysis

Harris also missed Wednesday's session, so what the running back is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Colts. If Harris ends up out or limited this weekend, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line to see added touches Week 9.

Harris missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While working in tandem with Rhamondre Stevenson in the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Jets, Harris logged 32 of a possible 78 snaps on offense, carrying 11 times for 37 yards and catching two passes for 15 yards. However, now that he's missed the team's first practice of the week, the running back's status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts. In the event that Harris is out or limited this weekend, Stevenson would be in line to see added touches.

Harris wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed reason, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris wasn't on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report, so it's unclear what's keeping him off the field Wednesday. In this past Sunday's win over the Jets, the running back was on the field for 32 of a possible 78 snaps on offense, carrying 11 times for 37 yards and catching two passes for 15 yards.

Harris had 11 carries for 37 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was the clear No. 2 running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson, who compiled 143 scrimmage yards on 16 carries and eight targets. Stevenson has been significantly more explosive on the ground recently in addition to contributing much more in the passing game, so Harris is having trouble carving out a valuable role in a low-ceiling New England offense. Harris and the Patriots will face the Colts in Week 9.

Harris recorded three carries for eight yards in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Harris returned from a one-game absence caused by a hamstring injury, though he made minimal impact. The Patriots had the ball for just under 23 minutes and were chasing points for much of the second half, which isn't the ideal game script for Harris. Instead, Rhamondre Stevenson remained the clear lead back, and his performance was highlighted by eight receptions as well as a goal-line rushing score. It's possible that Harris will see an increase in workload in more positive game scripts, but his volume will likely be volatile moving forward barring a significant change to the New England backfield.

Harris (hamstring) returned to a full practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Patriots' Week 6 win over the Browns, Harris is on track to return to action Monday night against the Bears. In the process, he'll be in line to reenter a timeshare with Rhamondre Stevenson, a context that gives Harris a degree of weekly fantasy utility but caps his upside while splitting New England's backfield touches with Stevenson.

Harris (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

With Harris out, look for the Patriots to lean heavily on Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 6, with Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris available to handle complementary roles Sunday. The fact that Damien Harris logged limited practices both Thursday and Friday offers hope that he could potentially avoid an extended absence, but he's not a lock to return to action in Week 7 against the Bears.
