Moves to injured reserve Harris (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The 23-year-old was previously ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Jets, so this is simply a procedural move to free up a roster spot for the Patriots. Harris spent the first three weeks of the season on injured reserve, but he took over the lead role in the backfield Week 4 and finished 2020 with 137 carries for 691 yards (5.0 YPC) and two touchdowns while catching five passes for 52 yards in 10 games.

Out for season finale Harris (ankle) won't play in Sunday's season finale against the Jets.
Impact With Harris set to miss his third straight game, Sony Michel, James White and J.J. Taylor will continue to handle the team's backfield duties. Harris finishes his second NFL season with 137 carries for 691 yards and two touchdowns to go along with five catches for 52 yards in 10 games. While Harris' limited involved in the Patriots' pass game limited his fantasy upside, his 5.0 yards-per-carry average illustrated his effectiveness as a runner. Looking ahead to the 2021 campaign, Harris will likely be in line to head New England's backfield once again.

Not seen at practice Friday Harris (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Impact The 23-year-old was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, but his potential absence at Friday's session after missing the past two games is an ominous sign for his availability this weekend against the Jets. Sony Michel, James White and J.J. Taylor will again handle backfield duties if Harris is ruled out ahead of Sunday.

Remains limited at practice Harris (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Seven New England players missed practice Wednesday, while Harris was among the 13 listed as limited. Given that he's missed two straight games, however, the running back is no lock to return to action for Sunday's season finale against the Jets. If Harris remains sidelined this weekend, Sony Michel, James White and J.J. Taylor would continue to handle the team's backfield duties Week 17.

Inactive for MNF Harris (ankle) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bills.

Status in question for Monday Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
Impact Harris logged a pair of limited sessions last week before he was eventually ruled out for last Sunday's contest at Miami. His ankle issue lingered into this week, capping his practice reps yet again Thursday through Saturday. There's a chance Harris' status comes down to a game-time decision, which is precarious for fantasy purposes with a Monday night battle on tap. If Harris doesn't suit up Week 16, the Patriots will lean on Sony Michel out of the backfield, with James White handling pass-catching work and J.J. Taylor (quadriceps, questionable) potentially available.

Still limited at practice Harris (ankle) remained listed as a limited practice participant Friday.
Impact The same applies to 19 of Harris' teammates, the bulk of whom figure to end up officially listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Bills. That he's logged back-to-back limited sessions after missing this past Sunday's loss to Miami could be interpreted as a positive sign, but until added context is provided -- perhaps by national reporters such as Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport this weekend -- Harris' Week 16 status will remain cloudy. If Harris is unable to go Monday, Sony Michel would be in line to continue to head the Patriots backfield, with James White on hand for change-of-pace duties and J.J. Taylor (quadriceps) in reserve.

Logs limited practice Harris (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Harris was one of 20 players listed as questionable by the Patriots on Thursday, but of that group he's one whose Week 16 status is indeed cloudy, given that the running back was inactive this past Sunday against the Dolphins. If Harris isn't cleared for Monday night's game against the Bills, Sony Michel would be in line to continue to head New England's backfield, with James White on hand for change-of-pace duties and J.J. Taylor (quadriceps) in reserve.

Officially ruled out Harris (ankle) was downgraded from questionable and will not play Sunday against the Dolphins.
Impact The news means Sony Michel will step back into the starting lineup as the primary two-down back, with James White (foot) mixing in as a pass catcher and J.J. Taylor (quadriceps) operating as the spellback in both situations. Harris, who popped up on the injury report Thursday with an ankle injury after missing time the previous week with a back issue, will aim for a return in Week 16 against the Bills.
DECEMBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable for Week 15 Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Dolphins after being limited at practice both Thursday and Friday.
Impact Harris -- who was added to the injury report Thursday -- and fellow running back James White (foot) are among the 14 New England players listed as questionable this week, though added context with regard to who's in/who's out should arrive once it's announced which players won't travel with the team to Miami. At this point, we'd be surprised if Harris didn't play this weekend, but if he's out or limited at all Sunday, Sony Michel would be in line to see added touches in Week 15.
