He underwent X-rays at the stadium and will go for additional tests Sunday, according to coach Todd Bowles.Bowles said he has no idea if Harris injury is serious, adding, Ill wait for the tests.Losing Harris for a significant period would be a blow, because hes an every-down linebacker and the defensive signal-caller.

He got up slowly and was taken immediately to the locker room.We definitely dont want to lose Dave, cornerback Buster Skrine said. Thats our defensive leader.Harris, 32, hasnt missed a game since 2008, his second year in the league.Marshall was a surprise scratch, but he couldve played if it had been a regular-season game, Bowles said, though he added that Marshall might miss some practice time.I just need him for opening day, Bowles said.
