Free-Agent RB Najee Harris Visiting With Giants

The New York Giants are set to hold workout sessions with free-agent running back Najee Harris on Monday, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Harris was forced to sit out the 2025 NFL season after tearing his Achilles tendon during Week 3 games for the Los Angeles Chargers. Prior to his injury, Harris had put together four outstanding seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, consistently recording more than 1,000 rushing yards each year and amassing six rushing touchdowns.

Cam Skattebo, the Giants' starting running back, is expected to return to action after recovering from a significant leg injury he sustained in Week 8 of the 2025 season. In his absence, Harris has taken over the role of New York's primary back. The Giants have a trio of potential replacements in Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, and Eric Gray.

However, the team's roster situation took another hit recently, as Dante Turbo Miller, another backup, suffered a groin injury while attempting to catch a punt during the Giants' preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. Harris had the opportunity to play alongside Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh during the 2025 season. With John Harbaugh now at the helm of the Giants, Harris could potentially sign with his new head coach. The Giants' 2025 season kicks off with a Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13th.
