N'Keal Harry - Page 7 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Strong practice Monday Monday was "easily Harry's best practice of camp," Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact After a rookie season slowed by injuries, it was a bit concerning that Harry recently missed a few practices with an undisclosed issue, but he returned to the field Sunday and then put his stamp on Monday's practice. The Patriots list the 22-year-old at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, though the Arizona State product has indicated that he focused on getting a little less bulky this offseason. In any case, Harry has the size and ability to go up and snatch contested throws, which could result in him doing some red-zone damage this season in the expanded role he's expected to have in New England's offense.

Returns to practice Harry (undisclosed) returned to practice Sunday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact Harry had missed the Patriots' last three practices with an unspecified issue, but now that he's back on the field, he'll continue to work toward a role in 2020 that should include plenty of snaps, alongside the team's top pass-catching option Julian Edelman and veteran receiver Mohamed Sanu. Per Katie McInerney of the Boston Globe, Harry geared his offseason training program toward getting a little less bulky. "I felt like I was a little bit big, and felt like slimming down and being a little more thin will help me get on top of my routes, and my breaks, and my releases," the second-year wideout noted this past week. After a rookie campaign stalled by injury, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft appears poised to take a step forward this season, assuming he can stay on the field.

Misses practice again Harry didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While nothing has been reported, back-to-back absences hint at some type of injury. The 2019 first-round pick is hoping to lock down a top-three receiver role in New England, where Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu are the veterans of a young group. Harry's competition includes Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers, Devin Ross and Gunner Olszewski -- not exactly the most fearsome bunch. Even so, Harry's 2020 outlook will take a hit if he's absent from practice for a prolonged stretch.

Ready for Year 2 Chris Mason of masslive.com noted Monday that Harry "looks to have slimmed down from his rookie season."

Impact As Mason points out, the wideout -- who is officially listed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds -- has "always been in very good shape, but may be training differently for his sophomore year." Harry's initial NFL campaign was stalled by an ankle injury, and the No. 32 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft recorded just 12 catches for 105 yards and two TDs in seven regular-season games. Now healthy and fit, he's poised to be in the mix for plenty of snaps this season, along with top pass-catching option Julian Edelman and veteran bounce-back candidate Mohamed Sanu. With long-time franchise signal-caller Tom Brady no longer in the mix, Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham are competing for the team's No. 1 QB job, and Harry's fantasy upside in 2020 largely will hinge on the chemistry he develops with Brady's successor.

This bad habit slowed Harry down in 2019, trainer says If you ask Rischad Whitfield, an ankle injury wasn't the only thing that slowed Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry down last season.
