Patriots' Damien Harris: Starts preseason opener

Harris rushed four times for 17 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 22-13 preseason win over Washington.

Harris got the start and was the only Patriot to register a rushing attempt on the team's first two drives. He also had an 11-yard run down to Washington's three-yard line called back on a holding penalty on New England's second drive, which ultimately ended in a field goal. The Patriots have plenty of running backs on hand, including receiving specialist James White, 2018 first-round pick Sony Michel, and rookie fourth-rounder Rhamondre Stevenson -- who scored two touchdowns in this one -- but Harris remains the leading man in the team's crowded backfield. Harris should start again in Week 2 of preseason against the Eagles.
