- On Tuesday, the New York Giants released running back Najee Harris, 48 hours after he gained just 4 yards on two carries in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
- Harris started Sunday's game expressing frustration afterward with how the Giants were using their backs in rotation, claiming it was "impossible" to get in a rhythm without a steady workload.
