Harris recorded 14 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Harris was one of four Houston defenders to log double-digit tackles, as the team struggled to get off the field against Kansas City's potent offense. This allowed the rookie linebacker to set career highs in tackles and defensive snaps (76). Harris has now totaled 55 tackles and two passes defended while playing every defensive snap in five of his nine games this season, and he'll likely serve an important role in slowing down starting Titans running back Derrick Henry in Week 16.

Texans' Christian Harris: Misses practice with injury
Rotowire
Harris (undisclosed) didn't participate in Saturday's practice, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The details of Harris' injury haven't been specified, but it was significant enough to sideline the rookie during camp. The Alabama product was drafted in the third round by Houston, and he will likely serve as a rotational piece behind linebacker Christian Kirksey. Harris is a tad undersized for his position as he stands 6-foot-1, but he makes up for it with his speed, as he ran a blazing 4.44 40-yard dash at the combine. Expect to hear more regarding Harris' injury status within the upcoming days.
