Running back Najee Harris revealed Sunday that the foot injury he sustained on the first day of padded practices in training camp was more serious than what coach Mike Tomlin reported to the media.<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year runner said he has been dealing with a sprained Lisfranc, a potentially serious injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never did just get my foot stepped on,\u201d Harris said after the Steelers’ 19-9 victory against the Detroit Lions in the preseason finale. \u201cThat is why I was out the majority of camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris said the injury takes 4-6 weeks to heal and that he is near the end of that timeline. Harris made his preseason debut Sunday and played most of the first half. He finished with four carries for 10 yards. Aside from an 11-yard burst, Harris was limited to minus-1 yard on three other carries. He also caught three passes for 11 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m just now getting over it,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIt was getting back in my motions. I was rusty today. It wasn’t a good performance and nothing I should be proud of, either. I need to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris will have two weeks to shake off the rust. The Steelers open the season Sept. 11 horses Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
