Harmon said he played special teams. And I think I remember seeing this.
Even if it was a couple of plays on special teams, with an injury you can still redshirt. aI believe it has to do with the amount of plays. Although it might have to be a season ending injury. Not sure on the official rules. Matt Asiata redshirted after he broke his leg vs. Oregon St. I believe Harvey did it in 06 as well. He had a couple of carries in the first game and broke his hip. Both of those were season ending injuries though.

Could be, but whoever keeps the official stats didn't see it.
Could he get a medical redshirt if he doesn't play again? I know you can't play in more than 2 or 3 games, but do you have to be injured for basically the whole season to qualify?

I believe it is if you have played less than 20% of the total plays for the year, you can receive a medical redshirt
There is also a medical redshirt that may be obtained to replace a season lost to injury. A medical redshirt, called a "medical hardship" by the NCAA, can be granted by the governing body for a season lost completely or almost completely to injury. If a player plays in 20% or less or his/her team's games, then suffers a season ending injury, a medical redshirt may be granted. A medical redshirt can allow a player to gain additional eligibility beyond the standard four academic calendar years. On rare occasions, a player may be allowed to play in his or her sixth year of college if he or she suffered a serious injury which kept him or her from playing for more than one season.
But what is a "season ending injury" defined as? If we don't let him play for the rest of the year, is that a season ending injury? Who could argue, especially if our team doctor says he's not ready to play (wink wink).
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

That definition is subject to the whims of the NCAA.
