Najee Harris Suffers Devastating Injury Against Broncos
BREAKING: Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris sustained a serious lower-leg injury during the second quarter of their AFC West matchup against the Denver Broncos on September 15, 2025. The incident occurred with just 5:16 left in the half when Harris, positioned behind quarterback Justin Herbert, went down on a non-contact play, immediately grasping his left foot.
Witnesses reported a shocking moment as Harris attempted to push off his left foot, resulting in a visible reaction that sent ripples through his leg. The severity of the injury prompted immediate medical attention, with Harris being carted off the field shortly after the incident. Initially, the Chargers listed him as questionable to return, but he was later officially declared out for the remainder of the game.
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh did not provide an immediate update on Harris’s condition when he spoke to CBS before the start of the third quarter. The impact of this injury is significant for the Chargers, as Harris had been a pivotal player in their offensive strategy.
Harris, who joined the Chargers this offseason after four successful years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was expected to be a key part of the backfield alongside Omarion Hampton. His impressive track record includes rushing for over 1,000 yards in each of the last four seasons, highlighting his durability and skill. Prior to his injury, he had tallied 28 rushing yards on six carries in the game.
This injury not only raises concerns for Harris’s health but also poses a significant challenge for the Chargers as they aim to maintain their strong start in the season. As the team navigates this unexpected setback, fans and analysts alike are eager for updates on Harris’s condition and the potential ramifications for the Chargers’ offense moving forward.
