Raiders' Erik Harris: Without practice restrictions
Rotowire
Harris (calf) was a full practice participant Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Harris was questionable heading into Las Vegas' Week 12 matchup against the Falcons, ultimately fielding just four defensive snaps during the contest. That, of course, is a huge dip from his typical workload, as Harris started the 2020 campaign with nine straight starts and an average of 56.3 defensive snaps per game Weeks 1 through 10. The chances of him being active for a Week 13 matchup against the Jets are strong, with Harris having upgraded from limited to full practice participation between Wednesday and Thursday.

Rotowire
Harris will participate in the Saints' offseason conditioning program, reports ESPN's Mike Triplett. He is also expected to be a full-go in time for training camp after tearing his ACL this past October.
