New England Patriots running back Damien Harris won't play in Saturday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, the team announced.

Harris was limited at practice this week due to a hamstring injury.

Rookie Rhamondre Stevenson is in line to start at running back for the Patriots, with Brandon Bolden likely serving as the No. 2 option in the backfield.

Harris leads the team with 754 yards (4.6 per carry) and nine rushing touchdowns through 12 appearances this year, while Stevenson has rushed for 429 yards and three scores.

Bolden has only carried the ball 30 times all year, but he's caught 32 passes for 303 yards and one touchdown.

The 9-4 Patriots, who are coming off a bye, have won seven straight games, including a Week 13 victory over the Buffalo Bills in which New England attempted only three passes.
