Harris's injury could knock him down the Patriots depth chart.

Sony Michel and Lamar Miller Spent caml on the PUP, leaving the door open for JJ Taylor and 2019 third round draft pick from Alabama, Damien Harris to show what they could do. While both impressed, Harris made a case to be the Patriots number one back.

With about three weeks before kickoff against Miami, Michel came off the pup list and was said to be lighter and looking 2018 good. However, this week, Harris had to have his pinky fixed and has been missing time, with reports that he could be out week one.

Earlier this week Miller came off the pup as well. With Harris missing time, he could fall back on the Patriots depth chart. Not just behind Michel but behind Miller. The Patriots are stacked at running back, almost as well as they are at defensive back. Having six backs, Taylor might make the practice squad but are the Patriots really going to carry five backs plus Johnson? That's very doubtful. If the Patriots can move one of their backs to the practice squad they will but I think the waiver wire will claim them.
