Todd Bowles: David Harris might not be ready for Week 1

BY LAURA ALBANESE

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Maybe the news on David Harris wasn’t so good, after all.

A day after sources told Newsday and multiple other outlets that the Jets’ middle linebacker and defensive leader would be ready for Week 1, coach Todd Bowles quashed some of that hope and said Harris might not be ready to play Cincinnati on Sept. 11 after all.

Harris left Saturday’s game against the Giants with a right shoulder injury. X-Rays, Bowles said Monday, came back negative. An MRI also came back negative.

“I don’t know,” said Bowles, when asked if Harris, 32, would be ready.
