The NFL has informed teams that Zxavian Harris, previously waived by the Saints, is eligible to sign with any club after a review of his status. Harris was one of two players who attempted to return to college football but did not engage in practices. The league reversed its earlier ruling, confirming he did not participate in organized college activities before the NFL training camps. This decision follows his dispute regarding his status amid ongoing eligibility discussions surrounding players returning to college football.
