Overview
- Early August reporting says the Giants are likely to consider adding another running back before the season starts to upgrade depth or insure against injury.
- Second-year Cam Skattebo is trending back from a season-ending right-ankle fracture and has resumed limited on-field work, positioning him for a significant role when healthy.
- Coach John Harbaugh has promised a large role for both Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy, framing the backfield as a 1A/1B tandem rather than a single feature back.
- The Athletic’s Dan Duggan and other outlets have floated former first-rounder Najee Harris as a possible veteran target, but his torn Achilles and recovery timeline make any signing uncertain and unconfirmed.
- A crowded room that includes Tracy, Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Eric Gray plus the team’s missed chance at drafting Jeremiyah Love means obvious upgrades are limited and any addition would likely serve as situational insurance rather than an immediate workhorse.
