Harris (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Harris has been sidelined with the calf injury since early October, but he'll now be able to return to practice. The Texans will have a 21-day window during which they can evaluate Harris for potential activation to the 53-man roster, but he could return as soon as Sunday against the Dolphins if he demonstrates enough progress during the Week 15 prep. His potential return is timely, as it comes after the NFL suspended Azeez Al-Shaair three games for his concussion-causing tackle of Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
