The
Tracy, who had been gaining momentum in the Giants' backfield rotation, exited Sunday's contest during the first half after participating in 10 offensive snaps. Despite the setback, Schoen indicated that the injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, though the mandatory stint on the sidelines is unavoidable under league rules. The Giants have moved to bolster their depth by signing running back Greg Desrosiers from the Los Angeles Chargers' practice squad to fill the vacant roster spot.
Adjusting the Backfield Rotation
With Tracy sidelined, the Giants are expected to lean heavily on Devin Singletary and
Schoen expressed confidence in the current personnel, stating that the team will evaluate Desrosiers' potential contributions while relying on the established tandem of Singletary and Skattebo. Tracy had been finding his rhythm prior to the injury, having scored touchdowns in consecutive games, including a first-quarter rushing score against Houston. The 26-year-old has accumulated 55 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries this season.
Looking Ahead to the Trade Market
While the injury leaves the Giants thin at the position, Schoen noted that the organization is not necessarily desperate to pursue external additions via trade. Despite external speculation regarding players like Indianapolis' Jonathan Taylor, the general manager emphasized that any potential move must align with both the team's short-term needs and long-term roster strategy. The Giants' limited draft capital—having already parted with fourth- and fifth-round picks in the 2027 NFL draft—remains a factor in their decision-making process.
The Giants, who currently hold a 4-2-1 record, are utilizing their bye week to recalibrate. The team is set to return to action on November 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, where the adjusted backfield rotation will face its first test without Tracy.
