The loss of Harris was another big blow to the Broncos defense that is already without Tramaine Brock (ribs), Brandon Marshall (knee) and Josey Jewell who also left the game with an injury.
Derek Wolfe also left the game with a rib injury.
Harris said after the game that he hopes he could be back in a few weeks if the Broncos can make a run for the playoffs.
