Harris injured vs Broncos
The running back took a step out of the backfield as the play began and immediately collapsed to the turf. He was helped off the field and later ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Harris had already endured a difficult preseason, limited in action after suffering an eye injury in a July 4 fireworks accident shortly after arriving from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Chargers scraped out a 23-20 win at SoFi Stadium to stay perfect at 3-0, while Harris managed six carries for 28 yards before his injury forced him out.
