FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are placing wide receiver N'Keal Harry, their first-round draft choice, on injured reserve, opening a spot to re-sign veteran Demaryius Thomas, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Harry pulled up in a practice with the Detroit Lions on Aug. 6, and then after surprisingly being in the lineup for the Aug. 8 preseason opener, came up gimpy after making two catches. Harry is expected to return later in the season, but he won't be eligible to do so until after the sixth week of the season.
