Najee Harris News
Tuesday, August 25, 12:17 PM
New York Giants running back Najee Harris took some first-team reps during Tuesday's practice, according to Pat Leonard. The Giants rotated their backs, so Harris hasn't suddenly jumped to the top of the depth chart, but his involvement is notable just one week after signing with the team. Cam Skattebo is still listed alone at RB1 on New York's latest unofficial depth chart, with Harris, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary grouped behind him. Jordan Raanan previously reported that Harris was brought in under the premise that he would be a significant contributor, and the veteran is already starting to see work with the starters. Harris is coming back from the Achilles tear that ended his 2025 season after three games. Before that, he topped 1,000 rushing yards in each of his four seasons with Pittsburgh. Tuesday's rotation doesn't settle anything behind Skattebo, but Harris is clearly getting an opportunity to earn a piece of the Giants' backfield.

Michael Carter News
Thursday, July 16, 9:34 AM
The Tennessee Titans signed veteran running back Michael Carter this offseason, and he could have the inside track to the final RB spot on the 53-man roster due to his history with new head coach Robert Saleh with the New York Jets, according to Mark Mihalko of Titans Wire. However, Kalel Mullings was drafted by general manager Mike Borgonzi, and when healthy, he gives the Titans backfield a different skill set. The 27-year-old Carter spent the last two seasons in the desert with the Arizona Cardinals and had 92 carries for 333 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and one rushing touchdown in 13 games (five starts) in 2025 in his fifth year in the league. Carter added 33 receptions on 45 targets for 267 yards and no touchdowns as a pass-catcher. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are the Titans' unquestioned top-two RBs heading into the 2026 campaign, so Carter will be competing for a depth role with Mullings and rookie Nicholas Singleton this year. Most likely, Carter will not be fantasy relevant unless injuries hit Tennessee's backfield hard.
