The Story in 60 Seconds

The NFL has reversed an earlier ruling and determined that defensive tackle Zxavian Harris is eligible to sign with any franchise, according to a report from The Ringer on Monday. The league notified teams via a memo after confirming that Harris did not participate in football activities during a brief attempt to return to college football at LSU in August.

Harris previously spent time during the offseason with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent before seeking to rejoin coach Lane Kiffin. While Harris and tight end Dae'Quan Wright were initially barred for the 2026 season, Harris's eligibility has been restored, though Wright was not mentioned in the latest memo.
