Rather than attempting to play in 2024, the 27-year-old running back will opt to put his health first and retire at a relatively young age.

  Harris (head/neck) should be healthy before free agency begins this offseason, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Harris then had a small role off the bench for the first six weeks of the season before a scary injury sent him to injured reserve for the remainder of the year. He'll turn 27 in February, a month before he's scheduled to hit free agency again.
