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.

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.”

Giants RB Cam Skattebo got workhorse usage when healthy last year, averaging 16.0 carries and 4.7 targets across Weeks 2 through 7. But that was under the old coaching staff. In his first preseason game under HC John Harbaugh and OC Matt Nagy on Saturday, Skattebo worked in a 3-RB committee. He got the start, but RB Tyrone Tracy replaced him on the third snap. RB Devin Singletary started the second drive before Skattebo and Tracy mixed back in.

The Giants are hiring Matt Nagy as their OC, according to multiple reports. Todd Monken was reportedly HC John Harbaugh's top choice for the job. But, like Harbaugh, Nagy has strong ties to Andy Reid. Nagy started his coaching career under Reid in Philadelphia and spent the past four seasons with Reid in Kansas City, serving as OC for the last three.

Fox's Jay Glazer reports that the Raiders plan to shut Edge Maxx Crosby down for the season's final two games. Crosby -- who has been playing through at least a knee injury for a while -- reportedly does not like the team's decision.

Very little went right for the Giants in Week 16, but RB Tyrone Tracy continued to lead New York's backfield in playing time and production. Tracy out-touched Devin Singletary 18-12 and accounted for 55.3% of the Giants' total yards in the team's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Tracy also commanded a 35-21 lead over Singletary in snaps.
