The Winnipegger will start at running back ahead of Timothy Flanders in the matinee match. Harris has missed the last three games with an ankle injury. He was hurt in the second quarter of the Bombers’ Banjo Bowl victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on September 10.
In 11 games this season, Harris has racked up a team-leading 677 rushing yards off 149 carries. He has also scored four touchdowns.
Quincy McDuffie will also check out of the infirmary for the Week 16 West Division match-up. The receiver/kick returner has sat out the last two games with an upper-body injury.
Injured linebacker Ian Wild is listed on Winnipeg’s lineup but will be scratched prior to kick-off. Tony Burnett will start in Wild’s place.
The Bombers have made three changes to their 46-man roster for the game. Recently signed receiver Tori Gurley comes in but isn’t expected to play.

Defensive backs Julian Posey and Justin Warden also come into the lineup. Running back Pascal Lochard has been placed on the six-game injured list. Defensive lineman Brandon Tennant moves to the practice roster.
