After lobbying last week to play some preseason snaps ahead of the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers second-year star running back Najee Harris is getting his wish.
According to a tweet from Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley, head coach Mike Tomlin stated that Harris will play in the preseason finale Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the Detroit Lions, he announced during his non-televised press conference following practice Friday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side.
Harris, who has been dealing with a foot injury throughout much of camp since the pads came on, has yet to play in the preseason in games against the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving the reps up to the likes of Benny Snell Jr.
