Harris was signed to the Texans' practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Harris provides organizational depth with Denzel Perryman slated to serve the second of a two-game suspension Sunday. The team had an opening on its practice squad after Garrett Wallow was added to the 53-man roster last Saturday.

Harris' (ankle) practice squad contract with the Jets expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Harris opened the regular season on the Jets' active roster and appeared in the first 10 games before being waived Nov. 24. The 28-year-old linebacker then joined the team's practice squad and was elevated for the Week 14 loss to Buffalo. However, he was forced out with an ankle injury that landed him on the practice squad injured list for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. Harris, who spent the first four seasons in a consistent role with San Francisco, finished this season with a career-low 12 tackles. He'll now likely seek to carve out a special-teams rile somewhere heading into the 2023 regular season.

The Jets placed Harris (ankle) on their practice squad injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris will now miss at least the next four games as a result of Tuesday's transaction, after he departed Sunday's loss to the Bills due to an ankle issue. However, head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that the 28-year-old's injury might be season-ending, per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site. If that's indeed the case, his absence still shouldn't greatly alter New York's defensive game plan given Harris' strictly special-teams role.

Harris has exited Sunday's game against the Bills with an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Harris's absence will leave the Jets light on depth at linebacker. However, the 28-year-old primarily contributes on special teams, so his departure shouldn't have a significant impact on the team's defense.

Harris was waived by the Jets on Thursday, Billy Riccette of Jets Wire reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris appeared in all 10 games for the Jets this season, mostly contributing on special teams. The 28-year-old had signed with the Jets in the offseason after having spent the first four seasons of his career with the 49ers. His time with New York will end after tabulating 12 tackles (seven solo) in his aforementioned 10 contests played. He'll now pursue a new opportunity elsewhere.

Harris is set to sign with the Jets on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris will link back up with former defensive coordinator Robert Saleh who is in his second season as New York's head coach. The safety-turned-linebacker spent the first three seasons of his career playing primarily in the secondary of Saleh's defense in San Francisco, but moved into a more prominent role at weakside linebacker in 2021, appearing in 15 games with seven starts. Harris' 321 defensive snaps from last season combined with his familiarity under Saleh should earn the veteran early consideration for the Jets' starting right outside linebacker spot - a position group that currently does not have a player with more than 155 career defensive snaps played for New York.

Harris met with the Jets for a free-agency visit Thursday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris is looking for a new home for the first time in his career after failing to re-sign with the 49ers before hitting free agency in March. The 2018 sixth-round pick totaled 44 tackles, one sack and one interception across 15 games with seven starts last season while playing primarily at weak outside linebacker - a current position of need for the Jets. Harris has previously played under Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who served as San Francisco's defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2020, and would likely see immediate playing time if he ends up signing with New York.

Harris was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
The linebacker opened the week as a limited participant at the 49ers' first two practices of the week, but he ramped up his activity Thursday. Harris looks likely to return to the field for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Packers after missing two contests with an Achilles injury.

Harris (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris will be sidelined for the second straight week due to the Achilles injury. However, the good news for the 49ers is that fellow weakside linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) will be available, so they won't have to start their third stringers against the Cowboys' high-powered offense.
