Here is the statement from Doug Hendrickson: " Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees. Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season."
This news had been rumored for a few days now.
Now, the rumors are confirmed true. Harris should make a full recovery, but this is not an ideal situation. He is extremely lucky the injury isn't worse than what it is.
Harris signed a one-year deal with the Chargers after leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers and is expected to be the starting running back ahead of first-round pick Omarion Hampton . Even though neither of them has played a game with the Chargers yet, head coach Jim Harbaugh and the offense cannot afford to lose one of these backs to an injury. LA is expected to become a rushing force in the NFL with these two backs and the massive offensive line they contain.
