Chargers Activate Najee Harris for Week 1 Brazil Game vs Chiefs

The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing for their 2025 NFL season opener with significant focus on key players and roster decisions. Najee Harris, who missed training camp due to an eye injury, has been moved from the non-football injury list to the active roster and is cleared for contact, signaling a strong likelihood of playing in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has expressed confidence in Harris’s readiness, choosing to keep only two other running backs on the active roster, demonstrating the team's reliance on him. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jauan Jennings of the San Francisco 49ers, who had a breakout 2024 season, is reportedly unsettled due to stalled contract talks and could be a trade target for the Chargers, who seek depth behind their leading rookie receiver Ladd McConkey. Additionally, Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to start in Week 1, while the team awaits further injury updates. Off the field, Harbaugh also commented positively on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement, acknowledging Swift’s popularity among football fans and her visible presence at Chiefs games.
