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.

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.

There's only one sure thing in the Giants backfield as of this writing: Cam Skattebo's set to lead the group. Behind him, though, we're still learning what the backup and supplementary plan will be. But murmurs about RB Tyrone Tracy being on the roster bubble might have been premature.

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.”

The Giants are signing Najee Harris to a one-year deal, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nearly 11 months after tearing his achilles, Harris is joining a backfield with Cam Skattebo, who’s coming off a major injury of his own.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Monday that RB Najee Harris tore his left Achilles in the Week 3 win over the Broncos. Harris is done for the season and faces a lengthy rehab. It's bad timing for the 27-year-old who's set to hit free agency this offseason.

The Chargers lost RB Najee Harris in the middle of the second quarter Sunday to a torn left Achilles' tendon. That allowed rookie RB Omarion Hampton to grab total backfield control in a game that found him racking up 25 touches and 129 total yards. Hampton ran 19 times for 70 yards and a TD. He added 6 receptions for 59 yards on seven targets in the narrow victory over the Broncos.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed after the Week 3 win over the Broncos that RB Najee Harris has an Achilles injury. He's set for additional testing, but this will most likely end up as a season-ending tear. That'd clear the way for RB Omarion Hampton to play a workhorse role the rest of the way. The rookie had his best game of the young season vs. Denver, running 19 times for 70 yards and a score and catching six of seven targets for 57 yards. Hassan Haskins will step in as Los Angeles' No. 2 RB, with RB Kimani Vidal likely to be elevated from the practice squad.

Chargers RB Najee Harris suffered a left leg injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He put no weight on the leg as he was helped off the field and was immediately carted back to the locker room. We'll update Harris' status when we know more.

Update: Harris is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury, although it sure looked like an Achilles injury to us.
