The league reversed course on the former Ole Miss star's eligibility, while fellow player Da'Quan Wright is still waiting to hear about his own status.
The NFL has ruled that defensive tackle Zxavian Harris is eligible to sign with teams as a free agent, reversing its earlier position on the matter.
Harris, a former Ole Miss standout who had drawn interest from LSU, had been stuck in limbo over his eligibility status. That holdup appears to be over now that the league has cleared him, opening the door for him to join a roster and get back on the field.
Not everyone is seeing the same relief. Da'Quan Wright, who has been dealing with a similar eligibility question, is still waiting for word from the league on whether his situation will be resolved the same way.
No timeline has been given for when Harris might sign with a team, but with the eligibility question settled, his path back to the NFL is officially open.
