Giants Host Najee Harris for Workout to Evaluate Short-Term Depth

A short, affordable one-year signing would plug a sudden depth hole after Dante Miller’s groin injury and could be possible while Harris finishes his rehab.

Overview

  • Najee Harris visited and worked out at the Giants’ facility on Monday for a team evaluation that could lead to a roster move.
  • Coach John Harbaugh said Harris looked good in the workout but is not back to 100 percent and is not yet in football shape.
  • The visit followed Dante Miller suffering a groin injury and being waived/injured, which increased New York’s immediate need for a veteran backup.
  • The Giants have limited cap space, roughly $10.5 million by reports, so any deal would likely be a low-cost, short-term contract rather than a long-term investment.
  • Harris is about 11 months removed from a left Achilles tear after a three-game stint with the Chargers and enters with four prior 1,000-yard seasons and a Pro Bowl nod that make him a high-floor option if he proves his cutting ability and conditioning.
