The New York Giants running back room is officially a total mess, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport dropping the bombshell Tuesday that veteran ball-carrier Najee Harris has been released. This move comes mere days after the Giants’ latest performance did nothing to calm the waters around their backfield situation.
The Skattebo Shock and the Sunday Loss
On Sunday, the Giants went down 34-27 to the New Orleans Saints. But the score wasn’t the only thing raising eyebrows. Rookie Cam Skattebo, another name in that perplexing backfield, registered a grand total of zero carries in the game. That’s right, zero. You gotta wonder what’s going on when a guy can’t even get a single handoff, especially with the team losing.
More Questions Than Answers for the Giants
Rapoport’s report confirms what many were already thinking: the Giants’ running back room continues to raise more questions than answers. Releasing a veteran like Harris right after Skattebo’s ghost performance just compounds the mystery. It’s clear the Giants are shaking things up, but what that means for their ground game going forward, nobody knows. Right now, it’s a whole lot of questions and no clarity for a backfield that needs answers.
