Overview

  • Rookie Cam Skattebo is sidelined day-to-day with a hamstring issue after exiting Friday’s practice early.
  • Undrafted back Rushawn Baker is out this week with a knee setback, leaving Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary and Dante Miller as the only available ball carriers.
  • The team hosted multiple free-agent workouts Monday and is expected to add veteran running back Jonathan Ward following a successful tryout.
  • Jonathan Ward brings five NFL seasons of depth work with the Cardinals, Titans and Steelers, offering special-teams experience and situational relief.
  • New York is proceeding cautiously with soft-tissue protocols for Skattebo, relying on Devin Singletary’s first-team reps to stabilize its revamped backfield.
