The fourth-year pro had five carries for 16 yards before going down with the injury. The former third-round pick out of Alabama led the Patriots in rushing yards and touchdowns last year.
2nd-year RB Rhamondre Stevenson has emerged as one of the best all-around backs in the NFL, but it remains to be seen whether he can handle a huge workload without Harris behind him. Behind Stevenson on the 53-man roster are rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris.
This is just overall bad news for a team that is getting set to face the Bills next week.
