Begin removing the health discount. Harris still needs to progress through practice without a setback, but fantasy managers should no longer evaluate him as though Week 1 absence is the expected outcome.

Najee Harris has been cleared for contact.

Harris has taken another significant step toward being available for the Chargers in Week 1, with Jim Harbaugh confirming the clearance and Harris saying he expects to play.
