According to Ian Rapoport, Falcons S Erik Harris tore his pectoral muscle against the Panthers, an injury which will require surgery and cost him the remaining games this season.
Harris, 31, originally signed on with the Saints back in 2016. He spent over a year in New Orleans before he was waived at the start of the 2017 season and later signed by the Raiders.
The Raiders brought Harris back on an exclusive rights contract before signing him to a two-year contract worth up to $6.5 million in 2019. He then signed on with the Falcons this past offseason.
In 2021, Harris has appeared in 12 games for the Falcons and recorded 63 tackles and half a sack to go with eight pass deflections.
