Concerns grow over Najee Harris after health update from fireworks incident: ‘Extremely strange’
NY Post
It’s been two weeks since Najee Harris injured his eye in a Fourth of July fireworks accident, and fans are still searching for clarity on just how serious the situation might be.
The Chargers running back will likely start training camp on the team’s non-football injury/illness list, general manager Joe Hortiz told reporters Wednesday, adding that he expects a potential stint on the NFI list to be a quick one.
“Nothing is set in stone,” Hortiz said.
Veterans reported to Chargers training camp Wednesday morning, but Harris had remained in the Bay Area at Stanford, where he has been working with doctors since the fireworks mishap.
Hortiz said Harris was slated to report to the Chargers’ facility Wednesday night.
If Harris ends up on the NFI list and isn’t cleared when the 53-man roster is set at the end of training camp, he’ll have to miss at least the first four games of the season.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
