According to multiple reports, Christ Harris' shoulder feeling much better than was initially projected. Earlier this week, it was reported that Harris would not be able to play the majority of the snaps during the game, which raised many questions as to how well the defense would fare against Julian Edelman who is their best receiver. Harris is the best slot corner in the league and Edelman lines up almost exclusively in the slot. If Harris can play the majority of the snaps while being somewhat physical at the line of scrimmage, the defense as a whole will have a much easier time.
Bradley Roby will still be available and he is a pretty good slot corner too. If needed, he could probably lock down Edelman, but most would rather have Harris doing that job.
The one concerning thing about this news on his shoulder is that he could land wrong during the game and the team would be down one of its best players. The coaches should probably still limit his snaps to second and third and longs in order to preserve him.
Lorenzo Doss should be active again just for depth purposes if Harris were to get injured in game.
