Harris kept away from the injury report this week. He took part in full practice on Monday and Tuesday, which means he should be ready to play on Wednesday.

The Steelers drafted Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft. He earned a Pro Bowl honor with the team in his rookie season.

Harris has become a key offensive player for the Steelers over the years. He is in his fourth season with the team and is on course to post his fourth 1000+ rushing yards season if he plays in the two remaining games of the Steelers' regular season.

Nonetheless, Harris is cleared to play against Kansas City and will want to impress against the reigning Super Bowl champions.

How has Steelers RB Najee Harris performed this season?

Harris is enjoying another solid season with the Steelers. The running back has recorded 933 yards and five touchdowns on 238 carries. He has also contributed 256 yards on 30 receptions across 15 games.

The Steelers have already qualified for the playoffs and will now aim to clinch their divisional title in the coming weeks. Harris is expected to play an important role for Pittsburgh in the next two regular season games and in the postseason.

Here's a look at how you can watch the Chiefs-Steelers Week 17 Christmas Day game, where you can catch Harris in action.
