The situation also unfolded in front of Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who went through a similar situation on Jan. 2, 2023 when he suffered a cardiac arrest on the field. Hamlin, who was shown on the broadcast, appeared visibly shaken and had his head down.
Harris, 26, came out of Alabama and was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
He signed a one-year deal with Buffalo this past offseason to compete with James Cook and Latavius Murray in the running back department.
