Another day, another news story about Maurice Harris. On Sunday, the New England Patriots released the wide receiver from their 90-man roster with an injury designation. Upon passing through the waiver wire unclaimed, he then reverted to the team’s injured reserve list on Monday. Today, he is off the list again: as first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, the Patriots have released Harris off IR with an injury settlement.
What does this mean? Harris will now receive pre-negotiated payments by New England for a period that depends on the severity of his injury.
