Damien Harris is a key cog in the New England Patriots’ offensive machinery. Serving as the Patriots’ lead running back, the third-year man is ranked first on the team in touches (177), yards from scrimmage (838) and touchdowns (9) through 13 games this season.
Harris twice departing New England’s win over the Buffalo Bills last Monday night due to a hamstring injury was therefore a big development for the team. His status heading into the final four weeks of the regular season remains unclear as of Tuesday morning, but he is apparently making sure to put himself in the best possible position moving forward.
