Damien Harris Injury: Will Pats' RB Be Available, Effective in Week 6 vs Browns?

New England running back Damien Harris was a limited participation for Wednesday's practice – one of several key injured Patriots offensive players to participate, including Mac Jones and Jakobi Myers – after suffering a hamstring strain early in their Week 5 shutout win. 

Despite being expected to miss multiple games according to Tom Peliserro, Bill Belichick's history dictates that the fourth-year back will likely be limited all three days and listed as questionable against the Browns.

If he can return this week the back will be on a snap count and play with limited effectiveness on the hamstring injury, according to the Pro Football Docs.

Harris reportedly only took part in full-pad warmups but left the field before the team portion.

Every injury is unique but Harris suffered a hamstring strain in the Patriots' snowy December win last season and returned in two weeks after the bye and one missed game.

Second-year backup Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 25 times for 161 yards against the Lions in place of Harris and gained 100 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns in his first career start against the Browns last season.

Stevenson has been the more effective New England running back this season, gaining 372 yards on a 5.5-yard average and 21 first downs, all top-10 among NFL backs.
