Harris (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Schefter's report essentially matches one from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, who relayed that the Patriots were optimistic their top running back would be available for Sunday's contest. A final word on Harris' status should arrive approximately 90 minutes before the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, whew New England releases its inactive list. Assuming Harris is active for the contest, he should serve as the Patriots' lead option on the ground, with Rhamondre Stevenson complementing him and Brandon Bolden serving as the team's top pass-catching threat out of the backfield.
