Damien Harris (thigh) absent from Patriots practice Thursday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) is not practicing Thursday.
What It Means:
Harris missed last Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills and he remains idle a week later. The Patriots are playing on Monday night in Week 14 versus the Arizona Cardinals, so they will have two more practices before releasing their final injury report. Rhamondre Stevenson will be in a workhorse role again if Harris misses another game. He played nearly every down for the Patriots last week and handled 16 touches (10 carries, 6 catches) in a negative game script.
numberFire's models currently give Harris a half projection of 4.9 touches in Week 14 while Stevenson is projected for 21.9 touches. Per our nERD rankings, the Cardinals have the No. 25 run defense in the league this season.
