New York Giants Release Running Back Najee Harris
On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints overcame a 10-point deficit with 34 unanswered points to defeat the New York Giants 34-27 at MetLife Stadium, snapping a three-game losing streak.
Giants running back Cam Skattebo received zero carries after fumbling four times this season, including a costly turnover in overtime last week against Washington. Head coach John Harbaugh insisted the move was not intentional.
Backup quarterback J.J. McCarthy replaced Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter and threw for 243 yards, leading the Giants to 17 unanswered points. The rally fell short when McCarthy's pass intended for Isaiah Likely fell incomplete on fourth-and-1.
Harbaugh stated, "One of those guys needs to step up," expressing frustration with the backfield rotation. Najee Harris, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary combined for 34 yards on 14 carries in the loss.
New Orleans travels to France on October 25 to face the Pittsburgh Steelers, seeking to maintain momentum after snapping their losing streak. The Giants prepare for next Sunday against the Houston Texans amid uncertainty over their quarterback and running back situations.
