Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Skattebo is clearly a long shot to play on Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on his status. Skattebo’s absence would leave RB Devin Singletary in a high-volume role against Philadelphia’s 14th-ranked RB defense.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. His absence would leave Devin Singletary as New York's clear lead back. Gregory Desrosiers, an undrafted rookie, is the only other RB on the active roster. RBs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray are on the practice squad.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, instead working off to the side with trainers. "We'll see," HC John Harbaugh said when asked about Skattebo's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. With Tyrone Tracy on IR with his hamstring, Skattebo's absence would leave RB Devin Singletary in a high-volume role.

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy will be placed on IR with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Texans, GM Joe Schoen announced. That knocks Tracy out for at least the next 4 games, which makes Week 13 the earliest we'll see him again. Tracy can be dropped in the vast majority of redraft leagues. A Giants backfield that went 4 deep a couple of weeks ago is now down to just Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary. Skattebo has a prime opportunity to reclaim clear lead duties after a nice Week 7 showing. Singletary is worth stashing as a handcuff with an outside chance at standalone value if Skattebo falters again.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo "should be ok" after limping off the field in overtime yesterday with an apparent hamstring issue. He gets a well-timed Week 8 bye, and it sounds like Skattebo should be ready come Week 9. We'll see about RB Tyrone Tracy, who also left the Texans game with a hamstring injury.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo said he "felt something" in his hamstring on his 42-yard run in overtime. He slid down at the end of the run and hobbled off the field. “Good thing we have a bye week," Skattebo said after the win over Houston. That Week 8 bye will help, but we'll see about Skattebo's availability for Week 9 and beyond. The Giants also lost RB Tyrone Tracy to a hamstring injury today, leaving Devin Singletary as the lone healthy RB.

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Texans with a hamstring injury. He carried 6 times for 15 yards and a score before exiting in the second quarter. His absence leaves New York's backfield to Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan confirms that Cam Skattebo is expected to be the "lead back" vs. the Texans today. But Raanan also expects RB Tyrone Tracy to be "heavily in the mix, probably close to a 50/50 split." With the Giants 10.5-point underdogs with a week-low 16.0-point implied total, this remains a backfield to try to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo is expected to "return to his role" as the team's "lead RB" vs. the Texans today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That means Skattebo is the best fantasy option among Giants RBs today, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's a good one. RBs Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary could and probably will remain involved. And the spot is horrible: The Giants are 10.5-point road underdogs to Houston's 11th-ranked RB defense.

RB Najee Harris will be released by the New York Giants according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. This comes on the heels of a loss to the Saints, in which open week starter Cam Skattebo played only 6 snaps with no touches in the game. Harris played 11 snaps with 4 rushes for 2 yards. Devin Singletary (31) and Tyrone Tracy (29) led the team in snaps. No RB hit 20 rushing yards in the game. Harris could certainly get another chance to make a roster for an RB-needy team with injuries.

RB Cam Skattebo didn’t touch the ball in Week 6, playing just 6 snaps after falling to fourth on the depth chart. He said the benching was punishment for his fumbles last week and that he has to be better. He has fumbled four times in his last five games and lost his first one in Week 5. His final offensive snap came late in the second quarter.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan hears that RBs Cam Skattebo and Najee Harris split reps in practice this week. Duggan expects "more Harris and less Skattebo than previous weeks" vs. the Saints today. Skattebo has mustered just 3.6 yards per carry this season, but Harris has posted an identical mark. The matchup against New Orleans' 26th-ranked RB defense keeps Skattebo in play as a Week 6 fantasy starter. We'd try not to use Harris, but he's worth rostering in most fantasy leagues while we see how this backfield plays out today.

On the Giants’ best offensive performance of the season, Skattebo suffered his lowest-scoring week. He continues to handle a high-end workload, logging a team-high 18 carries for 58 yards and hauling in his lone target for 8 more yards, finishing with just 7.6 PPR points.

Giants RB Devin Singletary is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Titans. New York will role with RBs Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy behind lead back Cam Skattebo. There's still no clear handcuff to Skattebo right now.

Giants RB Najee Harris is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys. New York will roll with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and Devin Singletary in the backfield. Harris just signed on August 18 coming off last year's torn Achilles. There's still no clear handcuff to Skattebo, although Tracy and Singletary have a chance to build some momentum tonight.

The Giants signed RB Najee Harris “under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor,” ESPN’s Jordan Raanan writes in a detailed look at this suddenly crowded backfield. Ranaan adds that RB Cam Skattebo is still the “top option” but that RB Tyrone Tracy has been a “regular” with the first-team offense in camp and that RB Devin Singletary “shouldn’t be counted out.”
