Giants' John Harbaugh Discusses Najee Harris' Free-Agent Workout

Veteran running back Najee Harris made a visit to the New York Giants for a free-agent workout on Monday, aiming to secure his next NFL destination. Tragically, Harris suffered a torn Achilles tendon during Week 3 of the 2025 season, which cut his first and only season with the Los Angeles Chargers short. The Giants' new head coach, John Harbaugh, discussed Harris' workout during practice on Monday.

Harbaugh mentioned that Harris is returning from the Achilles injury alongside his brother and appears good during the workout. However, Harbaugh clarified that Harris is not back to full strength or in football shape yet, suggesting a potential process if a deal were to materialize. The Giants' head coach acknowledged that Harris is a decorated veteran with substantial experience.

Based on the workout, Harbaugh expressed optimism about Harris' prospects, adding that they will need to see how things progress. Prior to his injury, Harris had faced numerous AFC North challenges against John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens. Throughout his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Harris has consistently topped 1,000 yards and accumulated six touchdowns in each of his four seasons.

Currently, the Giants' running back lineup features Cam Skattebo, who returned from a season-ending leg injury that ended his rookie season in Week 8. The Giants will next clash with the Miami Dolphins in their upcoming preseason game on Saturday.
