Harris (elbow) is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Harris will miss his first full game of the year after leaving last weekend's matchup against the Chiefs with an elbow injury. The veteran defensive tackle's absence should open up more playing time for Jowon Briggs and Mike Hall as it did in Week 15. Harris' next shot to see the field will be Week 17 versus Miami.

Harris (elbow) is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Harris will miss his first full game of the year after leaving last weekend's matchup against the Chiefs with an elbow injury. The veteran defensive tackle's absence should open up more playing time for Jowon Briggs and Mike Hall as it did in Week 15. Harris' next shot to see the field will be Week 17 versus Miami.
Harris (elbow) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports. Harris was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs early by an elbow injury, and now his status for Week 16 is up in the air. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday at Cincinnati.
Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to an elbow injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Harris logged two tackles before exiting Sunday's action. The 33-year-old totaled 35 tackles and 1.5 sacks across 13 appearances coming into this game against Kansas City. In Harris' absence, Jowon Brggs and Mike Hall will be the next men up at defensive tackle.
Harris logged two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati. It took seven regular-season games, but Harris finally go this first sack of the year Sunday, as he took down Joe Burrow for a five-yard loss late in the first quarter that caused the Bengals to turn the ball over on downs. Harris' 28 defensive snaps were his lowest since Week 2 against the Jaguars, and he could see sub-30 snaps on defense moving forward after rookie second-rounder Michael Hall returned from a five-game suspension in Week 6.
Harris (undisclosed) participated in practice Monday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports. Harris missed nearly two weeks of practice due to an unspecified injury, but he appears to be over the ailment. The 2014 seventh-round pick played in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, finishing with 28 tackles (17 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended and one forced fumble. Harris signed a two-year, $9 million contract extension with the Browns in March and will form a starting defensive front alongside Myles Garrett, Dalvin Tomlinson (knee) and Za'Darius Smith (knee).
Harris (undisclosed) did not practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Harris missed Wednesday's session as well, due to the unknown cause. The veteran figures to play a prominent role in the interior of Cleveland's defensive line in 2024, so the Browns could just be opting for caution with the 32-year-old.
Harris is slated to re-sign with the Browns on a two-year, $9 million contract, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Harris joined the Browns last March on a one-year deal and was able to earn a two-year contract this time around. The 32-year-old operated as a rotational piece on the interior of Cleveland's defensive line last season and should hold a similar role in 2024.
