Rumors have circulated social media that Najee Harris was injured by fireworks over the weekend. His agent, Doug Hendrickson, released the following statement today:
"Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees. Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season."
With Harris signing a one-year deal in free agency to possibly increase his value for next offseason's free agency, he's off to a rough start. Fortunately, it appears he's sidestepped a potentially serious situation.
