Los Angeles Chargers’ secondary has been hit with another major blow. After safety Derwin James went down for the season during training camp, Chargers now also lost corner Chris Harris for the foreseeable future.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Harris suffered a foot injury during a 16-21 loss to Carolina Panthers on Sunday and will be out for between four and six weeks. Rapoport adds that the Chargers expect the 31-year-old Pro Bowler to return to action at some point this season.
Harris joined Los Angeles Chargers in the offseason, signing a two-year, $20 million deal. He recorded 15 tackles (one for loss) and one pass defended in the first three games with the organization.
Prior to coming to LA, Chris Harris played nine years with Denver Broncos. During that time, he established himself as one of the best corners in the game despite entering the league as an undrafted free agent. Harris has four career Pro Bowl appearances and three All-Pro selections, while he was also named into NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
Harris’ career stats include 518 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 90 pass deflections, 20 interceptions, and four defensive touchdowns.
