2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Texans lost personnel up front this offseason, including linebacker and signal-caller Blake Cashman. That means the defense needs players to take on important roles in 2024. Harris, who began 2023 as a part-timer but finished as a full-timer, is expected to take on a larger role. He recorded 101 tackles, second only to Cashman's 106, and should return as an outside linebacker. Azeez Al-Shaair was signed as a free agent from Tennessee and should step into Cashman's spot at middle linebacker. Read Past Outlooks

Harris (calf) will not be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Harris has been dealing with the injury since training camp and with another week on the shelf expected, it's not clear when he'll return to the field. His continued absence will leave the Texans without their expected starter at middle linebacker and Jake Hansen to continue handling that role in Week 8 against the Colts.
