Najee Harris Making "Outstanding" Progress, Running on Treadmill

Monday, February 23, 10:06 AM

Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent running back Najee Harris (Achilles) is "looking outstanding" five months after having surgery for a torn Achilles tendon and is "running with ease" at 15 mph on an Alter-G treadmill, according to his agent, Doug Hendrickson. Harris' first season with the Chargers came to an end when he tore his Achilles in Week 3, allowing rookie Omarion Hampton to take over lead-back duties for most of the year. It ended Harris' streak of four straight seasons with 1,000 rushing yards to begin his career, as he finished with just 61 rushing yards and no touchdowns on 15 carries in three games in L.A. The soon-to-be 28-year-old will be back on the free-agent market this offseason, and although he appears to be healing nicely, he's unlikely to have a very robust market coming off a major injury.

Cam Skattebo Thinks he'll be 100 Percent Healthy in a Little Over a Month

Monday, March 16, 8:03 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) said on the Rich Eisen Show last week that he probably has "a little over a month left" until he's "fully back to 100%." Skattebo added that he ran at around 75% intensity for the first time last week. The 24-year-old said he's doing a little more than a jog while striding out, and he also fully expects to be ready to roll for training camp this summer after suffering a gruesome right-ankle injury in late October that ended what had been a promising rookie season in 2025. Injury aside, Skattebo said new head coach John Harbaugh's offense fits his skill set as an RB perfectly, so the Arizona State alum has high hopes for his second year in the NFL and beyond. There have been rumors circulating that the Giants want to add a high-profile RB in either free agency or the draft, signaling that they might be worried about Skattebo's long-term durability. Skattebo averaged 4.1 yards per carry and had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries in his first eight NFL games before his injury. His 2026 fantasy value will depend on what the Giants do in the draft at the position, but right now, he sits atop the depth chart.
