FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The first start of his NFL career wasn’t bad — for starters.
Activated off the injured reserve list, Damien Harris kicked off his second season with the New England Patriots by carrying 17 times for 100 yards (a 5.9-yard average) in a 26-10 loss to Kansas City in Week Four of 2020.
The 5-foot-11, 213-pound Harris would enjoy two more 100-yard games before the year was through, including a career-high 121 yards on 22 carries (a 5.5-yard average) in the Patriots’ 23-17 win over Baltimore last Nov. 15. He finished the season as the team’s leading rusher with 691 yards on 137 attempts in the 10 games he played.
