    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Expected to miss time

    N’Keal Harry (shoulder) is expected to miss about four weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Under that timetable, it doesn’t look like Harry will be available for Week 1 action, and if his injury is slow to heal it’s possible that he could spend some time on IR out of the gate this season. When healthy, the 2019 first-rounder will look to carve out a role in the New England Patriots’ wideout corps behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: No structural damage in shoulder

    N’Keal Harry doesn’t have any structural damage in his left shoulder, but his recovery timeline is week-to-week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Harry landed on the shoulder after he was unable to haul in a Mac Jones pass down the left sideline late in the first half of Thursday’s preseason win at Philadelphia. Afterward, Harry was seen with his left arm in a sling, which was a precaution, according to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus. A period of rest has been ordered up for Harry, so it appears he may not be a consideration for game action until the regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 12 against the Dolphins.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Strong effort in camp

    N’Keal Harry has looked sharp in training camp practices of late, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.Cox notes that Harry “followed up his promising performance Tuesday by catching all six targets he saw in competitive team drills” during Wednesday’s practice. Though Harry requested a trade last month, he reported for training camp on time, and thus far, his on-field effort has been encouraging. While the 6-foot-4, 225-pound wideout is probably behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne in the pecking order at this time, Harry could move up the ladder if he continues to shine in training camp, or if injuries end up factoring into the equation.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Participating in training camp

    N’Keal Harry, who requested a trade earlier this month, is in attendance for New England’s training camp, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.While it’s still possible that the 2019 first-rounder could be moved, the 23-year-old indicated Friday that he’d “absolutely” be happy if he ended up staying with the team, noting that he’s been focusing on improving his agility as opposed to “playing big.” At this stage, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder presumably slots in behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne on the New England Patriots’ wideout depth chart, but a strong summer and/or injuries could lead to a context that would allow Harry to stick around and potentially carve out a key role in the team’s offense.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Likely attending camp

    N’Keal Harry plans to attend New England Patriots training camp if he’s still with the team, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.Harry’s agent requested a trade last week, but it doesn’t sound like the 2019 first-round pick will hold out if the Patriots keep him around. The team isn’t likely to get much in a deal considering Harry has caught just 45 passes for 414 yards and four touchdowns in 21 NFL games. While there isn’t a significant cap benefit to releasing him, the Patriots would clear up $1.4 million in 2021 cap space if they’re able to work out a trade.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Asking for trade

    N’Keal Harry’s agent has requested a trade, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.The New England Patriots’ busy offseason suggests they aren’t expecting much from Harry, as the team signed WRs Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne in addition to TEs Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith. With Jakobi Meyers also returning and reportedly looking like the No. 1 receiver at spring practices, Harry might be only fourth or fifth on the depth chart when training camp opens. The 32nd overall pick from the 2019 NFL Draft has been a huge disappointment through two years, producing only 9.2 yards per catch and 5.4 YPT on 81 targets (21 games). Injuries and poor QB play have contributed to the struggles, but Harry’s inability to get open has been just as much of a problem.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Practices Wednesday

    N’Keal Harry (calf) return to practice Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.Harry, who appeared to tweak his right calf Tuesday, was back on the field Wednesday with no protective wrap on his lower leg. The 2019 first-round pick will now strive to maintain the momentum he had recently been building at OTAs and minicamp workouts. At this stage, he’s probably behind Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Jakobi Meyers in the New England Patriots’ wideout pecking order, but Harry’s size (6-foot-4, 225 pounds) and ability to make contested catches give him a degree of red-zone upside.

    Patriots’ N’Keal Harry: Tweaks calf Tuesday

    N’Keal Harry appeared to tweak his right calf during Tuesday’s practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.It remains to be seen if this is an issue that might hamper the wideout beyond Tuesday, but Harry, who reportedly had been building momentum this week per Howe, can ill afford a lengthy setback as he attempts to solidify his role in the New England Patriots offense following the team’s offseason additions of Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. With returnee Jakobi Meyers also in the mix, Harry is currently competing for depth slotting with Gunner Olszewski, Marvin Hall, Isaiah Zuber, Kristian Wilkerson, Tre Nixon and Devin Smith. Since being taken in the first round of the 2019 draft, Harry has yet to establish himself as a consistent threat in the team’s attack, and the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder may have to look sharp this summer just to retain his roster spot.
