The New England Patriots’ first injury report of Week 15 featured 13 players, all of whom were limited in Wednesday’s practice.
Damien Harris was not one of them.
The Patriots running back practiced without limitations six days after leaving last Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams with a back injury.
That’s great news for the Patriots’ offense, as Harris has been their top ball-carrier this season, rushing for 691 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games.
Quarterback Cam Newton, who played through a reportedly painful abdomen injury in the last two games, also was removed from the injury report, as was safety Kyle Dugger (toe).
Wide receiver Donte Moncrief was limited Wednesday after suffering a thigh injury against the Rams, and three players were added to the injury report: offensive tackles Jermaine Eluemunor (ankle) and Justin Herron (ankle) and running back James White (foot).
Eluemunor and Herron both have seen action at left tackle in usual starter Isaiah Wynn’s absence. Wynn is eligible to come off injured reserve after sitting out the last three games but was not present at Wednesday’s practice.
