Saints' Will Harris: Six tackles against Giants
Harris finished Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants with six tackles (five solo) and one pass defense.
Harris has played in every single defensive snap in the four games since returning from injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Over that span, he has logged 25 tackles (15 solo) and one pass defense. Harris and the Saints' secondary weren't tested that much by Drew Lock on Sunday, but they'll have their work cut out for them in Week 15 against Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin and the rest of the Commanders' offense.

Harris recorded six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 21-14 loss versus the Rams.
Harris was on the field for all 55 of New Orleans' defensive snaps in Week 13, and he gathered six-plus tackles for his third time this season. Overall though, he hasn't generated enough tackle production to warrant IDP consideration for the fantasy playoffs in most formats.

Saints' Will Harris: Activated off IR
The Saints activated Harris (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Harris finished the week off strong with consecutive full practices, and his activation off IR indicates he should suit up Sunday against the Falcons.

In the four games prior to the injury, he logged 14 tackles (11 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception).

Saints' Will Harris: Questionable for Sunday
Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
The Boston College product logged an LP/FP/FP practice schedule this week, so it appears he is trending toward playing Sunday. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football also reports that he expects Harris to return in Week 10 after missing the Saints' last four games with a hamstring issue. However, Harris must still be activated to the Saints' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If he's not activated, expect Jordan Howden to serve as New Orleans' top strong safety.

Saints' Will Harris: Designated to return
Harris (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Harris sustained a hamstring injury in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs that has sidelined him since. However, the 28-year-old's practice window opened Wednesday, suggesting that he's nearing a return to the field. Harris now has a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, but he must be activated to the Saints' active roster in order play.

Saints' Will Harris: Lands on IR
The Saints placed Harris (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Harris hurt his hamstring last Monday against the Chiefs and didn't practice at all this week. With the injury deemed serious enough to warrant Harris' placement on IR, the safety will need to sit out New Orleans' next four contests. Johnathan Abram played the majority of snaps following Harris' departure from Monday's game and could start Sunday versus Tampa Bay, though Jordan Howden is also a possibility for the role.

Saints' Will Harris: Missing Week 6
Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
New Orleans' top strong safety was unable to practice all week after exiting Monday night's loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring issue. With Harris missing his first game of the season, both Jordan Howden and J.T. Gray could see increased snaps alongside Tyrann Mathieu in the Saints' secondary in Week 6.

Saints' Will Harris: Unavailable Wednesday
Harris (hamstring) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Saints' walkthrough Wednesday.
Harris suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's 26-13 loss to Kansas City and he was forced to miss the team's opening session of the week as a result. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers. If he's ultimately ruled out, Jordan Howden would likely step into a starting role in the secondary for New Orleans.

Saints' Will Harris: Questionable for Week 3
Harris (shin) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Harris sustained the shin injury during practice this week, which caused him to miss Thursday's session. His participation in Friday's practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- has given him a chance of playing Sunday. If Harris is unable to play, then Jordan Howden would be most likely to start at strong safety alongside free safety Tyrann Mathieu.

Saints' Will Harris: Dealing with shin injury
Harris (shin) did not participate in Thursday's practice session.
Harris was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but it appears he is now dealing with a shin injury. That puts him in jeopardy of missing Week 3 against the Eagles, and his practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game. If Harris is unable to suit up, then Jordan Howden would be the likely candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Tyrann Mathieu.

Saints' Will Harris: Picks off Young in blowout win
Harris finished Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers with two tackles and one interception.
Harris picked off the first pass attempt from quarterback Bryce Young on a throw intended for Diontae Johnson, and that turnover led to a 57-yard field goal from Blake Grupe four plays later. Even with the Saints leading by a large margin in the second half, Harris finished the game as the only New Orleans defender to play all 55 defensive snaps. The 2019 third-round pick and the Saints' secondary will face a much tougher challenge in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Saints' Will Harris: Finds new home
Harris agreed to a one-year contract with the Saints on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
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.
