"There’s a chance,” Harbaugh said on Saturday, via Sports Illustrated. "I don’t comment because I’m not a doctor. I’m not Mr. Harris’ agent either. I’m talking about what I know, and ‘Can he open his eye?’ ‘Yeah.’ I’ve looked into his eye. I can tell you stuff like that.”

Harbaugh decided to sit Harris this preseason so the running back does not risk any more injuries.

If Harris is unable to join the trip to Brazil, Omarion Hampton could be the team's RB1.
