Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- New York Giants running back Najee Harris expressed frustration with the team's running-back-by-committee approach after being limited to just four carries in a 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
- Despite starting over Cam Skattebo, Harris struggled to find a rhythm, totaling only 99 rushing yards on 31 carries across five games, averaging a career-low 3.2 yards per carry.
- Reports indicate that the Giants have released Harris just two days after the Saints game, signaling a shift away from relying on him in the backfield.
- Giants head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged Harris's frustration but emphasized that no running back has yet earned a feature role, urging players to maximize their opportunities to gain more playing time.
- The Giants currently rank 19th in rushing yards per game and have rotated multiple backs, including Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr., as they search for a consistent running game solution.
