Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday that
Harris has a neck sprain and is in the league's concussion
protocol.
"He's doing well, or as well as can be expected," McDermott
shared. "He is out of the hospital and resting at home and seems
to be in good spirits."
Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance after suffering
the injury late in the second quarter of the Bills' 14-9 win in
Orchard Park, N.Y.
Harris took a carry on third-and-1 and gained 1 yard before New
York's Bobby Okereke initiated shoulder-to-shoulder contact in
tackling him. Harris' head also appeared to hit the offensive
lineman in front of him.
Harris remained on the ground and was immediately tended to by
trainers. He was secured to a backboard. Harris gave a thumbs-up
gesture before being loaded onto the ambulance.
The Bills later reported that Harris had movement in his arms
and legs and was being taken to the hospital for further
testing. Following the game, McDermott said scans done on Harris
came back normal.
Harris is in his first season with the Bills after four with the
New England Patriots. He was hurt on his first carry of the
game.
