Harris (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris also sat out last Wednesday's practice with a knee issue before returning to full practices both Thursday and Friday. With no reported setbacks in this past Saturday's win over the Bengals, a game in which the running back logged 19 carries, there's a decent chance that Harris' non-participation to start the Steelers' preparation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks is maintenance-related.

Harris rushed 19 times for 78 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-11 win over the Bengals. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.

EDGE Analysis

Harris powered in a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter, raising his season rushing touchdown total to five. He had a season-high 99 rushing yards and scored against the Bengals back in Week 12, so two of Harris' three highest yardage totals on the ground this season have come against the Bengals. Harris is averaging only 3.7 yards per carry against opponents other than Cincinnati, but he continues to handle the majority of rushing opportunities in Pittsburgh's backfield over Jaylen Warren (eight carries Saturday) heading into a Week 17 trip to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Harris' absence from practice Tuesday was just precautionary, as he returned without limitations one day later. He'll once again be the favorite to lead the Pittsburgh backfield in carries Saturday against the Bengals he usually does, though Harris still cedes a good amount of work to No. 2 option Jaylen Warren, who has logged no fewer than seven carries in any of the past seven games and appears to be Pittsburgh's preferred receiving back. Harris produced a season-high 99 rushing yards on 15 carries when these AFC North rivals faced off in Week 12, but he has just 125 rushing yards on 40 attempts over the subsequent three contests.

Harris (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris managed a knee injury the previous two weeks, but he still was active the last two contests, combining for 24 carries for 62 yards and three catches (on three targets) for 19 yards in losses to the Patriots and Colts. In those same games, fellow running back Jaylen Warren racked up 26 touches for 108 yards from scrimmage, so even if Harris is able to gut through his health concern Saturday against the Bengals, he likely will continue to split backfield reps with Warren.

Harris rushed the ball 12 times for 33 yards in Saturday's 30-13 loss to the Colts. He also lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Harris paced the Pittsburgh backfield in rushing attempts, but he was surpassed by Jaylen Warren in total touches. Harris's day was defined by a fumble on the Steelers' opening possession of the third quarter, which led directly to a Colts touchdown. He still saw four rushing attempts thereafter -- the same number as Warren -- so it doesn't appear that the turnover will cost him opportunity heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

After being listed as questionable ahead of last Thursday's game against the Patriots while tending to the knee issue, Harris suited up and played 39 snaps in the Steelers' 21-18 loss while finishing with 12 carries for 29 yards and three catches for 19 yards. The Steelers didn't indicate that Harris experienced any setbacks coming out of that contest, and his ability to take every rep Wednesday a day after being listed as a non-participant in practice suggests that his absence Tuesday was mostly maintenance-related. Harris looks set to split work out of the backfield with Jaylen Warren once again during this Saturday's game in Indianapolis.

Harris (knee) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was listed as questionable ahead of last Thursday's game against the Patriots after he was unable to practice in any fashion leading up to the contest while he managed the knee issue, but he was ultimately cleared to play and accounted for 48 yards from scrimmage on 15 touches (12 carries, three receptions) in the Steelers' 21-18 loss. Even with the benefit of a longer turnaround for this Saturday's game in Indianapolis, Harris was a spectator for the Steelers' first practice this week, though it's possible he was just receiving some extra maintenance. Harris will likely need to turn in a full practice Wednesday or Thursday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend.

Harris rushed 12 times for 29 yards and secured all three targets for 19 yards in the Steelers' 21-18 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was unsurprisingly stymied on the ground by an elite Patriots run defense, and he wasn't able to do much to complement his production with his work through the air. The third-year back did outpace backfield mate Jaylen Warren by five carries, although the latter drew two more targets. It was a forgettable night for both backs, so Harris' role should remain robust in a more palatable Week 15 road matchup against the Colts on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 16.

Harris (knee) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Harris, who is managing a knee issue, was listed as a non-participant on practice reports Tuesday and Wednesday before being deemed questionable ahead of Thursday's contest. With the running back's active status versus New England confirmed, Harris will have an opportunity to continue to pace the Steelers backfield in Week 14. However, if he ends limited at all or encounters any setbacks with his knee, Jaylen Warren is available to pick up added backfield touches. In Pittsburgh's 24-10 loss to Arizona this past Sunday, Harris carried 16 times for 63 yards and added two catches (on three targets) for 14 yards, while Warren rushed nine times for 59 yards and caught one pass for minus-4 yards.

Harris (knee) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Thursday against the Patriots, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harris was listed as a non-participant on practice reports issued Tuesday and Wednesday, but Pelissero relays that the running back is in line to face New England, barring any pregame setbacks with his knee. Either way, official confirmation of Harris' Week 14 status will arrive once the Steelers' inactive list is released approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
