New England Patriots running back Damien Harris is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions with a hamstring injury, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Not having Harris on the field would be a huge loss for a Patriots team with starting rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe under center. It’s clear the team wants to protect their young signal-caller by remaining balanced and focusing on running the football.
Rhamondre Stevenson has already shown off his explosiveness in the game by breaking free for a 49-yard run. The Patriots might need more of that effort if their starting running back isn’t able to return to the game.
