By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 9/13/22

Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl running back Najee Harris was limited to 10 carries for 23 yards during the team's 23-20 overtime victory in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, suffering a foot injury in the process. In talking with CBS Sports and NFL.com's Adam Schein on Tuesday morning, Harris said the injury is no cause for concern though.

After being selected by the Steelers with the 24th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the 24-year-old recorded 307 carries for 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns, while adding 74 receptions for 467 yards and three touchdowns last season. Harris' 381 touches led the league.

Pittsburgh will travel to face the New England Patriots in Week 2 at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.

While Harris' status looks good, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is dealing with back spasms and is questionable for the contest.
