Running back Jaylen Warren’s 62-yard touchdown run in Saturday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills kicked up a wave of Internet controversy. Should Warren be the starter over Najee Harris? The outside will continue to talk but internally, for offensive coordinator Matt Canada, there’s no debate.
Speaking to reporters prior to the team’s Monday practice, Canada declared Harris as the clear No. 1 runner.
“Najee is our 1,’ he said as tweeted by The Trib’s Chris Adamski. “I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.”
As he Canada noted and Adamski tweeted. Harris’ limited workload has been about keeping him healthy for Week One.
