Najee Harris works out with the New York Giants after Achilles injury
- Najee Harris worked out for the New York Giants on Monday as the team considered signing the veteran running back.
- Harris is nearly a year removed from tearing his left Achilles tendon and is not yet fully back in football shape, according to coach John Harbaugh.
- Before the injury, Harris had rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first four NFL seasons with Pittsburgh from 2021 through 2024.
- The Giants' running back group is unsettled after Dante Miller injured his groin and was waived/injured, while Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy are expected to carry the workload.
- Harris would add depth if healthy, and Skattebo said he was excited about the possibility of playing with him.
Najee Harris worked out for the New York Giants on Monday as the team evaluates whether to add the veteran running back. Harris is about a year removed from tearing his left Achilles tendon, and coach John Harbaugh said he is not yet fully back in football shape.
Harris, 28, played three games for the Los Angeles Chargers last season before suffering the injury on a noncontact play against Denver on Sept. 21. Harbaugh said any possible move would have to be gradual because Harris is not back to full speed yet.
Before the injury, Harris had been a productive back for Pittsburgh, rushing for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first four NFL seasons. Harbaugh said Harris is an experienced veteran, and the Giants would view him as a depth option if he proves healthy.
The workout came as the Giants' backfield remains unsettled. Dante Miller injured his groin in the preseason opener against Minnesota and was waived/injured, while Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy are expected to handle much of the workload. Skattebo said he was excited about the possibility of meeting and playing with Harris.
跟腱受伤后，纳吉·哈里斯与纽约巨人队试训
纳吉·哈里斯周一为纽约巨人队试训，球队正在评估是否要加入这名老将跑卫。哈里斯距左脚跟腱撕裂大约一年，教练约翰·哈博表示，他目前还没有完全恢复到比赛状态。
现年28岁的哈里斯上赛季为洛杉矶闪电队打了三场比赛，随后在9月21日对丹佛的无接触回合中受伤。哈博说，如果球队最终采取行动，也会是一个循序渐进的过程，因为哈里斯还没完全找回速度和比赛节奏。
在受伤前，哈里斯一直是匹兹堡较为稳定的进攻点，他在NFL生涯前四个赛季都冲球超过1000码。哈博称他经验丰富，如果健康，巨人队会把他视作可提供深度的补充。
这次试训发生在巨人队跑卫位置仍未稳定的背景下。丹特·米勒在季前赛对明尼苏达的比赛中伤到腹股沟，随后被列入伤病豁免名单；预计卡姆·斯卡特博和泰龙·特雷西将承担大部分跑球任务。斯卡特博表示，他很期待有机会见到并与哈里斯并肩作战。
