Singletary Set to Become Giants' Lead Running Back

Overview

• Tyrone Tracy Jr. was placed on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo is listed doubtful with a hamstring issue, moves that have elevated Devin Singletary into the likely lead role for the upcoming game.
• Singletary’s sudden opportunity followed his 30-yard overtime game-winning touchdown versus the Texans and a stretch earlier this season when he was a healthy scratch and low on the depth chart.
• Coach John Harbaugh publicly accepted responsibility for earlier usage decisions and said he told Singletary to stay patient, while offensive coordinator Matt Nagy praised Singletary’s professionalism.
• The Giants added rookie Gregory Desrosiers for depth and could elevate practice-squad backs Eric Gray or Phil Mafah, with the Nov. 10 trade deadline still shaping whether the team pursues an external running back.
• The Eagles rank near the bottom of the league in rushing defense, creating a favorable matchup for Singletary to showcase his ability and potentially change the Giants’ short-term backfield plan.
