Harry signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.
Harry joined the Vikings' practice squad ahead of the 2023 campaign, failing to record a catch while appearing in nine games with the team during the year. The wide receiver will now look to crack their initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season.

N'Keal Harry: Back with Minnesota
Rotowire
Harry signed with the Vikings' practice squad Monday.
Harry was waived by the Vikings on Tuesday when they activated Justin Jefferson (hamstring) from injured reserve. The 2019 first-round selection has appeared in nine games for Minnesota this season, but he has logged only 20 snaps on offense an has yet to see a target. He'll likely need another injury to the Vikings' receiving corps to get another chance with the active roster.

Rotowire
The Vikings waived Harry on Tuesday.
With Justin Jefferson (hamstring) activated from injured reserve Tuesday and due back following the Vikings' Week 13 bye, Harry was no longer needed. In nine games with Minnesota, Harry played 23 offensive snaps and another 49 on special teams. He didn't earn a single pass-game target.

Vikings' N'Keal Harry: Joins Minnesota's roster
Rotowire
Minnesota signed Harry off its practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Harry and Trishton Jackson were both added to the roster to provide additional depth in a receiving corps that will be without superstar Justin Jefferson (hamstring) for at least four weeks following Jefferson's placement on injured reserve Wednesday. Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn will work as the team's top two wide receivers, while Harry is unlikely to make significant contributions for however long he sticks on the 53-man roster. Between stops with New England and Chicago through his first four professional seasons, Harry has averaged 17 receiving yards over 42 games.

N'Keal Harry: Moved back to practice squad
Rotowire
Minnesota reverted Harry to its practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Harry was elevated to the active roster each of the past two weeks, with most of his work coming on special teams, though he did get one offensive snap Week 5 against Kansas City. There could be an opportunity for the former Patriot and Bear to be elevated again Week 6 and potentially see more work if Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is unable to play, though he'd presumably still be looking at minimal snaps behind at least K.J. Osborn, Jordan Addison and Brandon Powell.

Rotowire

N'Keal Harry: Gets cut loose
Rotowire
Harry was released by the Vikings on Thursday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Harry was previously dealing with a soft-tissue injury, although it's unclear if that impacted his release. The veteran wideout has yet to live up to his draft expectations, with a 2020 campaign where he produced 33 catches for 309 yards for the Patriots serving as the high-water mark of his career thus far. He'll now likely seek an opportunity elsewhere.

Vikings' N'Keal Harry: Lands with Minnesota
Rotowire
Harry signed a contract with the Vikings on Sunday.
Harry spent last season with the Bears but was hampered by a high-ankle sprain that delayed the start of his season. He ultimately appeared in seven games, recording seven catches on nine targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. A first-round selection by the Patriots in 2019, Harry has yet to solidify his potential in the NFL. He'll now work to do so with the Vikings.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Heads towards free agency
Rotowire
Harry caught one pass for seven yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with seven receptions, 116 yards and a touchdown over seven games played.
Between games missed due to injury and others due to being a healthy scratch, Harry played more than 30 snaps just once all season. There was just one game in which he caught more than one pass, and he averaged less than 20 yards in the games he played. In his four-year career, his best season was 2020 with the Patriots when he caught 33 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Posts first catch since Week 13
Rotowire
Harry caught one pass for 16 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Harry caught one of the seven passes that Justin Fields completed in this game, and he's averaging one reception over the six games he's played this season. His limited role in the offense will make him difficult to trust in Week 18 fantasy lineups when he faces the Vikings.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Back in full Tuesday
Rotowire
Harry (back) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Harry, who missed Sunday's contest versus the Eagles as a result of a back issue, has since been noted as a full participant during Tuesday's walk-through. With both Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) currently listed as questionable for this weekend's matchup against Buffalo, the 6-foot-4 receiver could handle additional snaps alongside Byron Pringle and Dante Pettis in Week 16.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Won't play vs. Philadelphia
Rotowire
Harry (back) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.
Chicago's bye in Week 14 was apparently not enough time for Harry to fully recover from a lingering back injury, and he'll now be forced to sit out in Week 15. With the Bears paper-thin at wide receiver, tight end Cole Kmet could operate as the team's top pass-catching option Sunday.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Harry (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.
Harry was a full participant Wednesday through Friday but is still listed as questionable for Week 15, which is certainly a disappointing development given Chicago is coming off a Week 14 bye. The 2019 first-round pick has caught at least one pass in each of his four appearances this season, totaling five receptions on six targets for 93 yards and one touchdown.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Harry (illness) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Harry was a healthy scratch versus the Lions in Week 10 and missed Week 11 against Atlanta due to an illness, but it appears he's now available for the Bears if the team opts to deploy him Sunday versus the Jets. However, quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) appears up in the air for Week 12, meaning if Harry is asked to suit up, he could be catching passes from Trevor Siemian.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Harry (illness) was listed as a DNP on the Bears' injury report Thursday.
Harry was ruled a healthy scratch ahead of Chicago's Week 10 loss to the Lions and did not carry any injury designation on the team's injury report Wednesday. While the nature and severity of this ailment are still unknown, the 24-year-old will have two full days to get healthy before Sunday's game against the Falcons. Harry has caught four of five targets for 44 yards and touchdown over three games this season, and he'll likely play a deep-reserve role when available moving forward.

Rotowire
Harry (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.
Harry appeared in each of the previous three games, totaling four receptions on five targets for 44 yards and a score. However, with Byron Pringle back on the active roster after a stint on IR, Harry and Velus Jones find themselves as healthy scratches.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Quiet in losing effort
Rotowire
Harry caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Harry has been targeted one or two times in each of his three games on Chicago's active roster, but with Chase Claypool immediately taking on a volume role after being acquired heading into this game, Harry may struggle to see an increase in targets going forward.

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Hauls in pass in Chicago debut
Rotowire
Harry caught one pass for 14 yards in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.
Harry was targeted once while playing 42 percent of the snaps against his former team. With three receivers ahead of him on the depth chart in a low-volume offense, he'll need to move up the depth chart to have a chance at becoming a reliable fantasy option

Bears' N'Keal Harry: Making Chicago debut
Rotowire
Harry is listed as active Monday at New England.
The Bears activated Harry from injured reserve ahead of Week 6 action but made him a healthy scratch against the Commanders. With a full week of prep under his belt, he'll make his debut for Chicago against the organization that selected him in the first round of the 2019 draft. While Darnell Mooney is the Bears' unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, Harry will be in the mix for passes from Justin Fields along with Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis and Velus Jones.
