Giants give Najee Harris the boot
Key Points:
- The New York Giants released running back Najee Harris following his public criticism of the team's backfield usage; Harris had 31 rushes for 99 yards without scoring this season.
- With Harris gone, Tyrone Tracy, who led the team in rushing attempts and scored two touchdowns in Week 6, is expected to take over as the de facto lead back, while Cam Skattebo may see increased playing time despite recent fumbling issues.
- Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich indicated that Josh Jacobs will contribute soon, though the extent of his role for Week 7 remains uncertain.
- The Miami Dolphins signed kicker Zane Gonzalez after he won a tryout over free agent Justin Tucker, replacing Riley Patterson as the team's kicker.
- Washington’s Terry McLaurin suffered a significant knee injury, raising concerns about his long-term availability; potential replacements include Treylon Burks, Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown, and tight end Chig Okonkwo.
