Finds new home
Harris agreed to a one-year contract with the Saints on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Harris spent the first five seasons of his career in Detroit after the Lions selected him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, he saw his role diminish greatly in 2023, transitioning into more of a special-teams role and rarely taking the field on defense. The move to New Orleans should give him a fresh start and the opportunity to earn a larger role, given his experience at both cornerback and safety.

Minimal role in Week 15
Harris logged one defensive snap during Saturday's win over Denver.
Analysis: Firmly off the fantasy radar, Harris hasn't logged more than five defensive snaps in a game since Week 7.

Starting Sunday
Harris is expected to start in place of the injured Jerry Jacobs (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Kyle Meinke of Mlive.com reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old safety is expected to make his second start of the year alongside Cameron Sutton at outside corner. Harris is no stranger to starting, as he's started more than half the games he's appeared in since coming into the league in 2019. Throughout his five-year NFL career, Harris has recorded 244 total tackles, 14 pass deflections and two interceptions (including one this season).

Staying in Detroit
Harris is expected to re-sign with the Lions on a one-year deal, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Harris has played his first four NFL seasons with the Lions, and it looks like he'll remain there for at least one more season. The veteran corner will likely compete for nickel duties or a depth role in the secondary, as the team is expected to add Cam Sutton from the Steelers in free agency. Harris played in 15 games last season, recording 57 tackles (44 solo), four passes defended and an interception.

Not playing Sunday
Harris (hip) is inactive Sunday against the Vikings.
Analysis: Harris didn't land on the team's injury report until Thursday and was unable to practice Friday. In his absence, Jerry Jacobs and Mike Hughes will likely see increased opportunity opposite Jeff Okudah at corner.

Listed as questionable
Harris (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.
Analysis: Harris landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a hip issue and was unable to practice Friday, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. However, if he's sidelined, Mike Hughes would presumably step up as the Lions' slot cornerback against Minnesota.

Five tackles in win
Harris recorded six tackles (five solo) and a pass deflection during the 40-14 win Sunday against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Harris finished tied for both the most pass deflections and second most tackles on the team. The fourth-year cornerback has now recorded at least six tackles in five of the past six games, but will have the difficult task of trying to slow down Justin Jefferson and the Vikings passing attack next week.

Practices Wednesday
Harris (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: After suffering a hip injury during Week 5's matchup, Harris was unable to suit up for Sunday's game against Dallas. The 26-year-old has recorded 13 tackles and one interception through his five games with Detroit.

Won't play Sunday
Harris (hip) is inactive Sunday against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Harris suffered the injury against the Patriots in Week 5, and he did not make enough of a recovery to suit up Sunday against the Cowboys over the team's bye week. In his absence, the returning Jerry Jacobs should see extra opportunity.

Out for remainder of game
Harris (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Harris recorded one tackle before picking up the groin injury in the first half. In his absence, AJ Parker and Mike Hughes figure to see additional snaps moving forward.

Questionable to return Sunday
Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Harris recorded one tackle before leaving the contest in the first half due to a groin injury. In his absence, AJ Parker and Mike Hughes are candidates for increased roles.

Steps up with opportunity
Harris had eight tackles (five solo), an interception and pass defensed in the Lions' 37-26 win over Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Harris received the starting assignment with Amani Oruwariye (back) out for the game. The 2019 third-round selection delivered, while playing 100 percent of the snaps on defense. His interception was the first of his career, which helped stall the Commanders' comeback attempt. Although he may be relegated to backup duties if Oruwariye returns in Week 3 against the Vikings, Harris may have proven he deserves more snaps moving forward.

Starter in preseason opener
Harris started at cornerback during Friday's preseason game against Atlanta, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Harris' dramatic career turnaround continues, as the failed-safety-turned-cornerback has worked his way to the top of Detroit's preseason depth chart over 2020 No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah. While Harris briefly left Friday's preseason opener to get his right hand taped, he returned on Detroit's second defensive series and seems to be alright going forward. At this point, Harris not only seems like a lock to make the roster but a strong candidate to open Week 1 in the starting lineup.

Staying at cornerback
Head coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that Harris will permanently play cornerback, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: After struggling at safety, Harris got a look at cornerback down the stretch of last season due to a rash of injuries, and his solid performance has given him new life in Detroit. In fact, the 2019 third-round pick has been alternating first-team reps with Jeff Okudah during the early days of training camp opposite No. 1 corner Amani Oruwariye. While Mike Hughes or Jerry Jacobs (knee) could push those two for reps before long, it at least seems clear that Harris is on the fast track to a roster…read more

Not working as safety at OTAs
Harris was primarily working as the outside cornerback opposite of Amani Oruwariye during Thursday's OTAs, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Harris struggled as a safety last year, but he played well at cornerback after multiple injuries forced him to shift positions at the end the campaign. Lions head coach Dan Campbell hasn't confirmed an official position change, but it appears like the 2019 third-round pick is trending toward being a starting cornerback in Year 4.

Defensive role uncertain
Lions head coach Dan Campbell indicated that Harris' defensive role in 2022 has yet to be determined, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Harris has largely been a disappointment at safety since Detroit spent a third-round pick on him in 2019. However, multiple injuries to the Lions secondary forced him into a key role at cornerback to end the 2022 campaign, and he reportedly performed well enough for the Detroit coaching staff to consider a position change. With that said, the way the team spends its significant draft capital later this month will probably play a large role in how Harris ultimately fits into the team's new 4-3…read more

Logs 93 tackles in 2021
Harris logged 93 tackles, half of a sack, four pass breakups and one forced fumble over 17 games in 2021.
Analysis: Harris regularly logged the vast majority of defensive snaps for Detroit while switching between safety and cornerback. Although he seemingly struggled in the former role from time to time, Harris had all of his PBUs and his lone forced fumble while operating at nickelback. In the end, this was the best season yet from the 2019 third-round pick who jumped from 312 defensive snaps over 16 games in 2020 to nearly 1,000 over 17 games in 2021. Now set to play out the final year of his contract with…read more

Records nine tackles in loss
Harris totaled nine tackles (seven solo) in the 38-10 loss to Denver on Sunday.
Analysis: Harris recorded a season-high in tackles Sunday as he faced off against a run-centered game plan by the Broncos. The safety has now tallied seven-plus tackles in three of his last four games along with a pass deflection in each of his last three games. Harris and the Lions travel back home to face a high-powered Arizona offensive attack.

Totals five tackles in Week 5
Harris made five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Harris has 25 tackles through the first four games of the season and is on pace for a career year. The 25-year-old is trending upward, but he will need to start forcing turnovers if he is going to be a viable fantasy option.

Leads way with six tackles
Harris recorded six tackles in Sunday's Week 3 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Harris failed to log a 100 percent snap rate on defense for the first time this season. However, that did not stop him from leading the team with his six tackles. Harris has now racked up 20 stops in three games, though he has no sacks, interceptions or passes defended.

Produces seven tackles
Harris made seven tackles (six solo) in Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Harris won the starting strong safety job in preseason and has posted exactly seven tackles in each of the first two games. The Lions' secondary is in rough shape, but Harris should be a solid IDP contributor as long as he remains the starter.

Wins starting job
Harris won the starting safety spot next to Tracy Walker, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Not only did Harris beat out Dean Marlowe for the job, but head coach Dan Campbell specified Harris as being one of the most impressive players during training camp. Like most Lions defensive players, the third-year safety is a good bet to improve upon the forgettable numbers he posted in Matt Patricia's historically bad 2020 defense.

Competing for starting role
Harris seems to be competing with Dean Marlowe for a starting job at safety, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: With Duron Harmon long gone, Harris and Marlowe reportedly rotated first-team reps at safety next to Tracy Walker during OTAs and minicamp. While Harris has yet to justify the third-round pick that Detroit's old coaching staff spent on him, it seems the Lions' new regime is willing to look past the slow start to his career.

Disappointing second season
Harris tallied 35 tackles and one pass breakup over 16 games in 2020.
Analysis: After seeing at least 67 percent of the snaps in the first two games of the season, Harris never saw more than half the rest of the way despite the rash of injuries that hit Detroit's secondary throughout the year. While his pedigree will likely prompt the Lions' next general manager to give him a chance in training camp this summer, Harris is far from a lock to return to the Lions in 2021 despite technically being under contract through 2022.

Tallies first career sack
Wilson totaled four tackles, one sack and one pass breakup in Week 17 against Green Bay.
Analysis: Apparently saving his best for last, Harris had a productive game that included a huge third-down sack of quarterback Aaron Rodgers that forced a Green Bay punt. In turn, the third-round rookie will finish his first professional season with 43 tackles, one sack and three PBUs in 16 games. With Tavon Wilson set to become an unrestricted free agent, it's possible Harris could open the 2020 campaign as a clear-cut starter next to Tracy Walker. However, there's a good chance Detroit re-signs Wilson…read more
