Washington's Kelvin Harmon reportedly tears ACL
Washington wide receiver Kelvin Harmon tore his ACL while preparing for training camp and will miss the season, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
What It Means:
Harmon, a 2019 sixth-round pick, had been penciled in as the second or third option in the receiving game behind Terry McLaurin. He had a slow start to his rookie season but averaged a respectable 41.4 yards over the final seven games and finished with the second-most receptions (34) on the team among receivers. Harmon's absence should lead to a larger role for Steven Sims and there also may be more opportunity for Trey Quinn and Antonio Gibson.
numberFire's models expected Harmon to see a 13.1 percent target share (65.8 targets) this season. His 12.2 yards per catch ranked 10th among all rookies with at least 30 catches.
