Star Steelers Running Back Najee Harris Suffers Foot Injury
Expected to Start Week 1 Despite Lisfranc Sprain
In a major blow to the Pittsburgh Steelers, superstar running back Najee Harris suffered a foot sprain on the first day of training camp.
Harris, who was a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is expected to start Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the injury could limit his effectiveness and raises concerns about the Steelers' running game.
Harris is reportedly dealing with a Lisfranc injury, which is a sprain of the ligaments that connect the bones in the midfoot. This type of injury can be severe and can take several weeks to heal.
The Steelers are hoping that Harris will be able to play through the injury, but they are also preparing for the possibility that he will miss time. The team has a number of other running backs on the roster, including Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr., and Jaylen Warren.
Harris' injury underscores the need for the Steelers to find a reliable backup running back who can take some of the carries away from him. The team has been looking for a running back in the offseason, but they have not yet found a suitable candidate.
The Steelers are hoping that Harris' injury is not serious and that he will be able to play in Week 1. However, the team is also preparing for the possibility that he will miss time.
