Najee Harris returns to running, doing drills with a football after eye injury
Harris, who was injured in a July 4 fireworks accident, landed on the non-football injury list before training camp. Since Aug. 2 — and before Tuesday — he had only walked laps with a helmet while wearing a weighted vest.
Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said Harris has a 'superficial eye injury' and expects the one-time Pro Bowler to be ready for the season.
Coach Jim Harbaugh has been noncommittal about Harris' availability for Week 1.
Harris posted a photo on social media last week that showed his left eye completely shut, but Harbaugh said Harris can open his eye.
The Chargers drafted Omarion Hampton and will have another running back splitting time with the rookie, whether that's Harris or another back. Kimani Vidal, Raheim Sanders, Hassan Haskins and Nyheim Miller-Hines are the backs competing for the job.
'Don't have to make that decision right now,' Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. 'Just keep working, keep evaluating, keep trying to get better, see how it all fits together when the decision needs to be made.'

Dricus Du Plessis ahead of UFC 319: Khamzat Chimaev 'definitely not bigger than me'
Dricus Du Plessis shuts down claims that Khamzat Chimaev looked a lot bigger than him in their encounter. Middleweight champion Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) defends his title against Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in Saturday's UFC 319 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at United Center in Chicago. Du Plessis crossed paths with Chimaev during fight week, where the pair shared a cordial handshake. Many commented on the size difference between the two, but Du Plessis assures that's not the case. "I mean, maybe it was the angle," Du Plessis told Helen Yee. "I haven't seen the video, but I can promise you – you'll see, you'll see. I stood in front of him. He is definitely not taller than me. Maybe a little, maybe like, half an inch. Yeah, you'll see. And the other thing, I don't give a sh*t how big he is. It's not what wins fights. But yeah, I saw him, he's definitely not bigger than me." Episode 3 of UFC Embedded shows a different angle of their run-in. "He was very respectful. He came over and said hello," Du Plessis said. "I mean, the fight is happening on Saturday night. People aren't paying to see this. Yeah, it could have gone either way. But now we know."

Chargers' Najee Harris runs drills for first time since eye injury in Fourth of July mishap
Najee Harris is trending in the right direction after a scary moment celebrating the Fourth of July. The Los Angeles Chargers running back sustained a "superficial eye injury" in a fireworks mishap during a holiday event. "Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees. Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season," his agent's statement said, via ESPN. Harris participated in drills on Tuesday for the first time since the injury. Harris was with a trainer off to the side. The Chargers have yet to officially disclose the injury, which is not required during training camp and the preseason. Head coach Jim Harbaugh did recently say "there's a chance" Harris is not ready for their season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil on Sept. 5. Harris signed a one-year deal reportedly worth $5.25 million with the Chargers in the offseason. He's in a backfield with Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, Jarret Patterson and rookie Omarion Hampton. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Harris in the first round of the 2021 draft. He has played in and started every game since he entered the league. He ran for 4,312 yards and 28 touchdowns in 68 games. The Chargers racked up 1,882 yards and averaged 110.7 yards per game. JK Dobbins led the Chargers with 905 yards, and Gus Edwards ran for 365 yards. Vidal had 155 rushing yards, and Haskins had 89.
