Giants release Najee Harris after running game criticism

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 18:57 · Archive

The New York Giants released running back Najee Harris two days after he criticised the coaching staff's game plan.

The New York Giants released running back Najee Harris on Tuesday, two days after he criticised the coaching staff's running back rotation following a performance in which he carried the ball four times for two yards.

Harris, a 28-year-old former first-round draft pick who had joined the Giants ahead of the 2026 season after returning from an Achilles tear, appeared in five games for the team. He started on Sunday against the Saints but struggled, with the Giants employing a three-back rotation that saw Harris, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary split carries.

After the game, Harris said it was difficult for running backs to get into a rhythm with limited offensive touches. 'If you're getting a play here and get taken out four series, there's nothing you can do,' he said. He clarified the comments were not directed at coach John Harbaugh or the coaching staff but reflected the challenge of limited playing time.
