The Philadelphia Eagles have officially waived wide receiver from their injured reserve list, as recorded in the NFL’s latest transaction log. Harris had been placed on injured reserve after sustaining a concussion during the preseason, a move that initially sidelined him for the entirety of the 2024 season.
Harris’s release marks the end of his brief stint with the Eagles, where his time was unfortunately impacted by the preseason injury. Due to the concussion, Harris was unable to participate in any regular-season games this year, limiting his chances to contribute to the team. Under league protocols, he will need to be fully cleared medically before he can join another team. Once he passes the necessary concussion protocols, Harris could be available to any NFL team looking to add depth at the wide receiver position.
Before joining the Eagles, Harris had a short season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023. He appeared in two regular-season games for the Jaguars but was primarily a backup, playing just 14 snaps on offense and not recording any receptions during that time. His limited action in Jacksonville underscores his ongoing challenge of establishing a more stable role within an NFL roster, though he has demonstrated potential as a receiver and special teams asset.
The release of Harris from injured reserve frees up a roster spot for the Eagles and potentially gives Harris the opportunity to seek a new path in the league. Teams in need of receiver depth or special teams versatility could consider signing him once he’s cleared to play. Harris, a former fourth-round pick known for his athleticism and size, could be a valuable pickup for teams dealing with injuries at the receiver position as the season progresses.
For the Eagles, this move continues their roster management as they work to address injuries and keep their depth chart competitive. Harris’s departure follows a trend seen in many teams throughout the season, where players on injured reserve are waived to open up space and provide flexibility for other additions.
Harris now faces the task of recovery and finding a new team to showcase his abilities. Once medically cleared, he could add value to a franchise looking for additional receiver options, especially for teams dealing with their own injury setbacks in the second half of the season.
