Christian Harris - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Eight tackles in 2024 debut Harris registered eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Harris missed the Texans' first 13 games of the 2024 regular season due to a calf injury he suffered in July. He ended up playing 51 defensive snaps Sunday and finished as the Texans' third-leading tackler behind Henry To'oTo'o (11) and Jimmie Ward (nine). Harris should see plenty of defensive snaps over the next two games due to the three-game suspension of Azeez Al-Shaair.

Active Sunday Harris (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact The linebacker has yet to play this season after injuring his calf in July. Harris was activated from injured reserve Dec. 9 and logged three practice sessions, two limited and one full, in the week leading up to this game. The third-year pro recorded 101 tackles (65 solo), including 2.0 sacks, seven pass breakups and a forced fumble in 16 regular-season games last year.

Activated for Week 15 Harris (calf) was activated for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports, but he remains questionable to suit up.

Impact Harris has yet to play a single snap this season after sustaining a calf injury during practice in July, but he could finally make his long-awaited debut Sunday. The linebacker appeared in 16 games for the Texans in 2023, notching 101 tackles (65 solo), 2.0 sacks, seven passes defended and one forced fumble.

May be able to return Week 15 Harris (calf) is questionable to face Miami on Sunday.

Impact Harris has yet to suit up this season after injuring his calf during practice in July. The third-year linebacker was designated to return from IR on Dec. 9, though he has yet to be activated. Harris logged two limited practices to begin this week before upgrading to a full session Friday, and if he's activated Saturday, he could be in line to play for the first time this season against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Back to practice Harris (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Harris has been sidelined with the injury since early October, but he'll now be able to return to practice. He'll have a 21-day window before he needs to be placed back on the active roster, but he could return as soon as Sunday against the Dolphins.

Could be back soon General Manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that Harris (calf) may be back "sooner rather than later," Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Harris has not been able to play at all this season due to a soft-tissue calf injury, but he's eligible to be activated from injured reserve as soon as after Houston's bye in Week 14. With teammate Azeez Al-Shaair having been issued a three-game suspension Tuesday for a brutal hit on quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Harris could be in line for a significant role as soon as he's available again.

Remaining sidelined Harris (calf) will not be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Harris has been dealing with the injury since training camp and with another week on the shelf expected, it's not clear when he'll likely return to the field. His continued absence will leave the Texans without their expected starter at middle linebacker, and Jake Hansen to continue handling that role in Week 8 against the Colts.

Won't return for Week 6 Harris (calf) will remain on the Texans' injured reserve list until after Sunday's game at New England, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Harris became eligible to return from the injured reserve list ahead Week 5, but he'll now apparently need to sit out at least one more game as he works through a calf issue. Until he's able to return, 2023 fifth-rounder Henry To'oTo'o should continue to see an increased workload.

Out until Week 5 Harris (calf) was placed on the Texans' injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return

Impact Harris entered training camp on the heels of an impressive sophomore campaign, during which he accrued 101 tackles (65 solo), including 2.0 sacks, seven passes defended and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games. He injured his calf early in training camp, which was severe enough to keep him out of all four of the Texans' preseason games. Harris will now be forced to sit out for the first four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 5 against the Bills on Oct. 6. Jake Hansen will operate as the Texans' top inside linebacker while Harris is sidelined.

Could miss regular-season opener Harris (calf) is in jeopardy of missing the Texans' Week 1 game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Houston's top middle linebacker has been dealing with a calf issue since late July, and it now appears that this injury could sideline him for Houston's Week 1 contest. If Harries does miss the Texans' regular-season opener, expect Jake Hansen to work as the team's top inside linebacker.

Dealing with leg injury Harris has missed the team's last three practices due to a soft-tissue leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The second-year linebacker was a revelation for Houston in the latter half of the team's playoff campaign as Harris tallied 75 tackles, two sacks and an interception in his final nine games including the playoffs. While the lack of specific details regarding the injury is noteworthy, it doesn't sound as if the team expects Harris to be limited entering Week 1 come early September.

Houston's leading tackler vs. Jags Harris recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 24-21 loss versus Jacksonville.

Impact Harris played a season-high 66 defensive snaps in Week 12 and managed a double-digit tackle total for the first time since Week 4 versus the Steelers. It seems he may have overtaken Henry To'oTo'o as the Texans' second-most used linebacker behind Blake Cashman, and that would put him on the IDP radar for a Week 13 matchup versus the Broncos.
