In a devastating turn of events for the Los Angeles Chargers, running back Najee Harris has reportedly suffered a serious Achilles injury during today’s game against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed the unfortunate news shortly after the game wrapped up.

Harris, who was seen clutching the back of his leg after going down, raised immediate concerns among teammates and fans alike. While the team is still conducting imaging tests, trainers have a strong reputation for accurately diagnosing Achilles injuries on the spot. Given the circumstances, it’s highly likely that this injury could sideline Harris for the entire season.

This year has been nothing short of turbulent for Harris. He was already fighting to reclaim his position after suffering an eye injury from a Fourth of July fireworks accident, which kept him out of training camp and preseason activities. Although rookie sensation Omarion Hampton has taken the lead in the backfield, it seemed like the Chargers were beginning to reintegrate Harris into their game plan — until this setback.

Signed to a one-year contract with the Chargers this offseason, Harris's season now hangs in the balance after totaling just 15 carries for 61 yards. As he focuses on recovery, the question remains: will he be able to bounce back and find a new team next offseason?
