The New York Giants could boost their offense by giving running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. a defined receiving role instead of waiting for a rushing breakthrough. Tracy logged two catches for 27 yards and a touchdown against the Saints, reminding coaches of his proven pass-catching ability—38 receptions as a rookie and 36 last season. While his rushing numbers are modest (40 yards on 13 carries), a limited screen or route package could provide a safe outlet and protect the quarterback without committing him to a full lead‑back charge. The article urges the coaching staff to test a repeatable receiving package in upcoming games, keeping other backs involved while evaluating Tracy’s ball security and protection skills.
J.J. McCarthy gave the New York Giants a reason for optimism despite their loss to the New Orleans Saints. The quarterback entered late and helped spark a comeback attempt, showing what he could offer the offense. However, former teammate Adam Thielen noticed something beyond McCarthy’s performance on the field. Thielen was particularly impressed by the […]

The New York Giants are edging closer to a trade for Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor as they reshuffle their backfield. Coach John Harbaugh warned Cam Skattebo that the No. 1 running back spot is open after benching him in a Week 6 loss, and the Giants then cut Najee Harris. With Harris gone, rumors link the Giants to Taylor, who was born in Salem, N.J., and could replace the struggling Colts (2‑4). Yet Taylor’s two‑year extension through 2028 complicates a deal, and it remains unclear whether Skattebo would be part of a package or retained as a backup. The move could give New York a true star and revitalize its offense.

John Harbaugh says Giants offensive tackles Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor remain day‑to‑day, offering no clear‑cut status for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. While both players are listed on the depth chart, the coaches have yet to confirm their availability, prompting a recommendation to build extra edge protection and adjust the outlet package in case either tackle is limited. The decision also hinges on the pending quarterback choice between Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy, as protection schemes cannot rely on a mobile quarterback to compensate for line uncertainties. Updates from Wednesday’s practice will reveal how much of the offense can proceed with full tackle support.
John Harbaugh bluntly tells the New York Giants their rushing game isn’t a Saquon Barkley or Derrick Henry‑level threat. After cutting Najee Harris from the depth chart, the Giants are left with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary, with Skattebo expected to lead the backfield in Week 7. Harbaugh urges any player to make the most of limited chances, warning that the four‑man rotation isn’t working. New York heads to Houston next, where the RB usage will reveal Harbaugh’s true stance on the ground attack.

The Giants could seize a chance to upgrade their shaky offense by targeting a trade for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor amid Indianapolis' 2-4 slump and a possible fire sale before the Nov. 10 deadline. Taylor, a three‑time Pro Bowler, is on pace for 1,300 rushing yards and 16 TDs this season, but the Colts may demand hefty compensation, such as linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux and multiple draft picks. With quarterback Jaxson Dart out and Jameis Winston under fire, New York needs a backfield boost to stay competitive in the NFC East.

The Washington Commanders fell to the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Monday, a loss the Commanders seemingly prefer over their chaotic 20-20 tie with the Giants in Week 5. The 49ers stay perfect, now one of three unbeaten teams and extend their NFC West lead to three games over the Seattle Seahawks after six weeks. Meanwhile, the NFC East endures a historic slump: all four teams go winless for two straight weeks, the first such streak since the 1970 merger, with only the Giants holding a winning record but a negative point differential. The article explores how a scoreboard win can feel like a loss and vice versa.
New York Giants Pro Bowl running back Najee Harris has had a minimal role this offseason, logging just 61 offensive snaps and 31 carries. With Cam Skattebo benched, Harris was officially named starter for Week 6 and was expected to take on an expanded role. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan, as he […]

Former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy sparks a near‑miraculous comeback for the New York Giants, throwing 11‑of‑21 for 243 yards, one TD, an INT and adding 26 rushing yards after entering a 34‑10 fourth‑quarter deficit against the New Orleans Saints. His two‑point conversion narrows the loss to 34‑27 and forces the Giants to reconsider their QB depth chart. The piece also notes other Wolverine standouts this week: TE Colston Loveland (6 catches, 65 yards, TD for Chicago), RB Blake Corum (touchdown reception for L.A.), WR Nico Collins (42‑yard catch for Houston), LB Devin Bush (key fumble recovery for Chicago), and DE Kwity Paye (third sack for Las Vegas).
The New York Giants cut veteran running back Najee Harris on Oct. 20, 2026, after he voiced frustration over the team's constant backfield rotations that left him unable to find a rhythm. Harris, who was named the Giants’ RB1 for the loss to the New Orleans Saints, was released despite six weeks of no clear starter at the position. The depth chart now lists Cam Skattebo as the lead back, followed by Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary.
