Links up with Seattle The Seahawks signed Harry to their practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Harry was dropped from the Vikings' practice squad in late October, but it now appears he's found a new home in Seattle. The 2019 first-round pick most recently appeared in nine games with the Vikings in 2023, failing to record a state across 69 total snaps (20 offensive and 49 on special teams). He could be elevated to the Seahawks' active roster if their wide receiver corps faces injuries later this season.

Dropped by Minnesota The Vikings cut Harry from their practice squad Monday.

Impact Harry spent the first seven weeks of the season on Minnesota's practice squad, but it now appears the team has decided to move in a different direction. The 2019 first-round pick appeared in nine games for the Vikings in 2023, failing to record a stat across 69 total snaps (20 offensive and 49 on special teams). In a corresponding move, the Vikings signed Trishton Jackson to their practice squad.

Back with Minnesota's taxi squad Harry signed with the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Harry spent the offseason and training camp converting from tight end to wide receiver. He finished the preseason with four catches (on seven targets) for 60 yards, but it wasn't enough to make the Vikings' 53-man roster. The 2019 first-round pick will continue to develop on the practice squad and could be promoted to the active roster during the upcoming season.

Bears eye help on defense, O-line after dealing No. 1 pick

The Chicago Bears have agreed to trade the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to the Carolina Panthers

Heads towards free agency Harry caught one pass for seven yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with seven receptions, 116 yards and a touchdown over seven games pla...

Impact Between games missed due to injury and others due to being a healthy scratch, Harry played more than 30 snaps just once all season. There was just one game in which he caught more than one pass, and he averaged less than 20 yards in the games he played. In his four-year career, his best season was 2020 with the Patriots when he caught 33 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

Posts first catch since Week 13 Harry caught one pass for 16 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Harry caught one of the seven passes Justin Fields completed in this game, and he's averaging one reception over the six games he's played this season. His limited role in the offense will make him difficult to trust in Week 18 fantasy lineups when he faces the Vikings.

Back in full Tuesday Harry (back) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

Impact Harry, who missed Sunday's contest versus the Eagles as a result of a back issue, has since been noted as a full participant during Tuesday's walk-through. With both Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) currently listed as questionable for this weekend's matchup against Buffalo, the 6-foot-4 receiver could handle additional snaps alongside Byron Pringle and Dante Pettis in Week 16.

Won't play vs. Philadelphia Harry (back) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Impact Chicago's bye in Week 14 was apparently not enough time for Harry to fully recover from a lingering back injury, and he'll now be forced to sit out in Week 15. With the Bears paper-thin at wide receiver, tight end Cole Kmet could operate as the team's top pass-catching option Sunday.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Harry (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.

Impact Harry was a full participant Wednesday through Friday but is still listed as questionable for Week 15, which is certainly a disappointing development given Chicago is coming off a Week 14 bye. The 2019 first-round pick has caught at least one pass in each of his four appearances this season, totaling five receptions on six targets for 93 yards and one touchdown.

Watson's emergence gives Packers reason for hope in future

The Green Bay Packers at least appear to have found their next go-to receiver during an otherwise disappointing season

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Makes big play in loss Harry caught a 49-yard pass in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact After being inactive in each of the last three games, Harry caught his only target and more than doubled his season yardage on the play. He's caught one or two passes in each of the four games he's played, and he could maintain a similar role down the stretch.

Won't play Sunday Harry (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Impact Harry was also a healthy scratch Week 10, before missing Week 11 due to an illness. The third-year wideout started the season on IR with a knee injury and has yet to carve out a consistent role with the Bears since getting healthy. He'll work to earn an active roster spot Week 13 against the Packers.

Not on injury report Harry (illness) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Harry was a healthy scratch versus the Lions in Week 10 and missed Week 11 against Atlanta due to an illness, but it appears he's now available for the Bears if the team opts to deploy him Sunday versus the Jets. However, quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) appears up in the air for Week 12, meaning if Harry is asked to suit up he could be catching passes from Trevor Siemian.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 11 Harry (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Harry did not practice for the second day in a row Friday due to an unspecified illness that is significant enough to keep him sidelined against Atlanta in Week 11. This will mark the wideout's second missed game in as many weeks, as he was ruled a healthy scratch Week 10, and his next chance to play will come versus the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 27. While Harry has slotted into the bottom half of the Bears' wide receiver depth chart this season, his absence should open up more opportunities for Velus Jones, Byron Pringle and Dante Pettis against the Falcons.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Harry (illness) was listed as a DNP on the Bears' injury report Thursday.

Impact Harry was ruled a healthy scratch ahead of Chicago's Week 10 loss to the Lions and did not carry any injury designation on the team's injury report Wednesday. While the nature and severity of this ailment are still unknown, the 24-year-old will have two full days to get healthy before Sunday's game against the Falcons. Harry has caught four of five targets for 44 yards and touchdown over three games this season, and he'll likely play a deep-reserve role when available moving forward.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch for Week 10 Harry (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.

Impact Harry appeared in each of the previous three games, totaling four receptions on five targets for 44 yards and a score. However, with Byron Pringle back on the active roster after a stint on IR, Harry and Velus Jones find themselves as healthy scratches.

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in losing effort Harry caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Harry has been targeted one or two times in each of his three games on Chicago's active roster, but with Chase Claypool immediately taking on a volume role after being acquired heading into this game, Harry may struggle to see an increase in targets going forward.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first touchdown for Chicago Harry caught two passes for 24 yards in the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact Harry was targeted twice, but his 24 yards was good for the second-highest total on the team. He's currently part of a five-player rotation at wide receiver, but unless he separates himself from the pack, he may struggle to see more than a handful of targets each week.

Hauls in pass in Chicago debut Harry caught one pass for 14 yards in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.

Impact Harry was targeted once while playing 42 percent of the snaps against his former team. With three receivers ahead of him on the depth chart in a low-volume offense, he'll need to move up the depth chart to have a chance at becoming a reliable fantasy option

Making Chicago debut Harry is listed as active Monday at New England.

Impact The Bears activated Harry from injured reserve ahead of Week 6 action but made him a healthy scratch against the Commanders. With a full week of prep under his belt, he'll make his debut with the team against the organization that selected him in the first round of the 2019 Draft. While Darnell Mooney is Chicago's unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, Harry will be in the mix for passes from Justin Fields along with Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis and Velus Jones.

Healthy scratch Thursday Harry (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Commanders.

Impact The Bears activated Harry from injured reserve Monday, but his season debut will be delayed until Monday, Oct. 24 in New England, at the earliest. The team may be taking a cautious approach with Harry after he underwent ankle surgery in early August, and his cause likely wasn't helped by the fact that Chicago's receiving corps otherwise is relatively healthy at the moment.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Thursday Harry (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Harry opened the season on injured reserve after undergoing ankle surgery in early August, missing the Bears' first four games before returning to practice last week. He's now been cleared to play in a game for the first time all season, and it's possible he handles a significant role given how little production the Bears have gotten from their wide receivers this season. The possibility also exists that the 2019 first-round pick doesn't play or barely plays, given the long layoff and his lack of prior success in the NFL during his time with New England.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited by ankle Tuesday Harry (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.

Impact A first-round pick of the Patriots in 2019, Harry found a new home in Chicago back in July after three underwhelming seasons in New England. He proceeded to suffer a high-ankle sprain in his first training camp in Chicago, resulting in a tight-rope surgery and subsequent placement on injured reserve. After missing the first five games of the campaign, Harry was activated from IR on Monday, only to show up on the injury report one day later. His status thus bears monitoring ahead of Thursday's contest against the Commanders.
