His inclusion comes only a day after the Buffalo team had to split with Devin Singletary, who headed off to Houston.

Harris was part of the fierce-rivals New England Patriots team, where his spent 4 years overall. There he totalled 2, 094 yards rushing and 20 TDs rushing after being selected in the third round of the draft out of Alabama. He also registered 40 catches for 281 yards.

His best season was the 2021 campaign, when he finished with 929 yards rushing and scoring 15 times, the second most rushing TDs in team’s history. Ironically, 3 of his 8 career 100-yard rushing games have come against Buffalo Bills, including a memorable performance on December 21, when he clicnched a career-high three-touchdown outing.

Harris is set to compete for his first-team spot with James Cook and Nyheim Hynes, who was acquired by Buffalo from Indianapolis.
