Expected workload for Steelers RB Najee Harris vs. Eagles

A burning question heading into the Steelers preseason tilt vs. the Eagles is how much game-action Najee Harris will see.

A burning question heading into the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason tilt versus the Philadelphia Eagles tonight is just how much game-action rookie running back Najee Harris will see.

Harris won’t get much more work in Philadelphia than last week in his first professional outing. In the Hall of Fame Game showdown with the Dallas Cowboys, Harris ran the ball seven times for 22 yards. He also had one reception for three yards. By their second possession of the second quarter, the Steelers’ reserves were in the game.

Next week, back at the confines of Heinz Field against the Detroit Lions, will be a different story. Week 3 is known in the NFL as the “dress rehearsal,” so you can expect Najee Harris to get a bulk of the carries.
