BOSTON -- With Damien Harris expected to miss some time due to an injury, another Harris is ready to step up for the Patriots.
New England signed rookie running back Kevin Harris from the practice squad, the team announced on Thursday.
Harris was drafted in the sixth round of this year's draft, and he'll now join Pierre Strong Jr. on the active roster to fill out the depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson.
Damien Harris suffered a hamstring injury early in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, and a report indicated that he's expected to miss multiple games.
