N'Keal Harry injury: Patriots rookie reportedly not expected to miss Week 1

Share

Patriots fans held their breath during the first half of Thursday night's preseason opener when rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry limped off the field with a hamstring injury.

Fortunately, the Pats' first-round draft pick isn't expected to miss any time in the regular season. Harry will miss some practices, but he should be good to go for Week 1 according to Kevin Duffy of the Boston Herald.

Harry tweaked the hamstring during practice on Tuesday and reaggravated the injury when he made his second catch on Thursday night. It makes sense to rest the Arizona State product until it's absolutely necessary for him to take the field, as he's expected to make an immediate impact on this year's Patriots offense.

Harry finished the preseason opener with two receptions for 36 yards.
