Packers’ Zxavian Harris workout triggers NFL eligibility headache for 2026 season

Green Bay hosted defensive tackle Zxavian Harris for a workout, but an NFL memo declares Harris and tight end Dae’quan Wright ineligible to visit, try out, or sign with any team during the 2026 season after both tried to return to college football. The memo warns clubs to verify eligibility and threatens discipline (fines, loss of draft picks) for violations. While Green Bay’s workout preceded the memo, the situation could still invite penalties, and Harris/Wright will be ineligible for 2026 and could become free agents in 2027, with the Packers watching whether any discipline is imposed.
