Giants release Najee Harris after criticism of limited role
The New York Giants cut running back Najee Harris on Oct 20, 2026, after he publicly criticized his limited snaps, NBC Sports reported. The decision left fellow backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy to vie for larger roles. Earlier in Week 6, the Giants had indicated they would increase Harris’s carries against the New Orleans Saints, NBC Sports said.
In the same game, the team limited Cam Skattebo to zero rushing attempts after a prior overtime fumble, theScore and NBC Sports noted. Head coach John Harbaugh later stressed that running-back touches must be earned, according to NBC Sports.
