Bears wide receiver N’Keal Harry will undergo tightrope surgery on his recently sprained ankle on Thursday morning as reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Fantasy Impact: The tightrope surgery involves a flexible implant that is meant to stabilize Harry’s syndesmosis ligament. It is a procedure that has gained popularity in recent years but still has a lengthy recovery time. Harry is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks following Thursday’s surgery, a timeline that puts Harry back around Week 5 when the Bears travel to play the Vikings. Harry finished last season in New England with 12 receptions for 184 yards and zero touchdowns but averaged 15.3 yards per reception. Once healthy, Harry will be another field stretcher for Justin Fields to utilize on deep routes and he hopes to flourish with a change of scenery after three sub-par seasons with the Patriots. At this point, Harry is set to miss over a third of the fantasy regular season so discount him accordingly in drafts, especially in redraft formats.
