LANDOVER — Wide receiver Maurice Harris spent the first eight weeks of the season on the Redskins’ practice squad. He was promoted to the 53-man roster on Saturday.
But Harris made quite the impression in his first game of the year Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings — hauling in a 36-yard touchdown with an incredible one-handed catch.
Harris streaked down the sideline and caught a bomb from quarterback Kirk Cousins. The pass was originally ruled incomplete, but Redskins coach Jay challenged the call.
It was overturned, giving Harris a touchdown on his first catch of the season.
