Tyrone Tracy fumbled on his second carry in the Giants' 28-20 victory over Dallas and spent the rest of the game on the bench, raising questions about whether/when he will get another chance after having similar problems last year. However, head coach Harbaugh greeted him warmly after the game, suggesting he may be back in the rotation next week in LA.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Tracy Jr. saw limited touches in Week 1, fumbling the football on his second touch, which likely limited his subsequent involvement in the Giants' backfield committee approach.NegativeRoleSep 14, 2026
Tracy fumbled in the red zone on just his second carry of the game in the second quarter and did not play again on offense for the remainder of the game. With veteran Najee Harris inactive Sunday, the source suggests Tracy and Harris will be changing places for the foreseeable future, indicating Tracy's role is in jeopardy following the costly turnover.PositiveDepth ChartSep 13, 2026
Tyrone Tracy is one of three active running backs for the Giants against the Cowboys, alongside Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary, with Najee Harris inactive.PositiveRoleSep 10, 2026
Giants running back and former receiver is the obvious standout among the team's four running backs as a pass catcher. Tracy will be heavily involved in the Giants' heavy-set passing attack, where tight ends and backs are getting heavily involved as pass catchers.PositiveInjurySep 10, 2026
RB upgraded from non-contact to full participation; practicing without the red non-contact jerseys worn the previous week, indicating stinger injury is progressing favorably heading into Week 1.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
Tracy is listed as second-string running back alongside Najee Harris and Devin Singletary, indicating the Giants will employ a varied running game rather than favor any single runner. Additionally, Tracy will line up or motion into the slot as part of the Giants' pass-catching rotation, which will include Isaiah Likely, Malik Nabers, Odell Beckham Jr., and Darnell Mooney.NegativeRoleSep 5, 2026
Predicted to be inactive for Game 1 if the game were this Sunday, per the source's roster projection; however, the source expresses uncertainty about this decision, stating 'I don't like leaving Tracy inactive, but that is my guess regarding what might happen.'NegativeProjectionSep 1, 2026
Tracy is a 2024 draft pick who can be viewed as either a promising player who might be a big contributor to the Giants this year, or as a running back who has posted 1,000+ yards of offense in each of his first two seasons but whose upside is uncertain; the source presents this as a Rorschach test of the 2024 draft class.NegativeRoleAug 30, 2026
After a tumultuous summer, Tracy remains on the 53-man roster, suggesting he survived roster cuts despite preseason uncertainty.NegativeInjuryAug 29, 2026
Running back Tyrone Tracy passed a concussion test but sustained a stinger in the preseason game vs. the Jets. Harbaugh confirmed the lingering injury, indicating Tracy will require monitoring heading into the regular season.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
Tracy is projected to make the 53-man roster unless the Giants receive an offer they can't refuse. The source cites his explosiveness demonstrated Friday with 37 yards on just four carries as evidence of his roster security.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
The third-year running back delivered a strong performance after mishaps in the first two preseason games. Tracy carried four times for 37 yards, including a 16-yard run, and scored a 6-yard touchdown. He also passed a concussion test after an injury scare in the second half and appeared fine on the sideline, suggesting he will be available for the regular season.PositiveUsageAug 29, 2026
Before his injury, Tracy was performing well in Friday's game: 4 carries for 37 yards (9.3 yards per carry average), including a 6-yard touchdown run and a long run of 16 yards. The source states 'Tracy was having an excellent night before being injured.'NegativeInjuryAug 29, 2026
Tracy left the Giants' preseason game against the Jets with an injury on Friday night. The source notes his preseason has been 'nightmarish,' marked by a missed block in Week 1 that led to QB Jaxson Dart taking a big hit, and a red-zone fumble in Week 2 against Miami. Tracy is the Giants' leading rusher the past two seasons.PositiveUsageAug 29, 2026
Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran for 8 yards and was evaluated by medical staff after a tough run, but also scored a touchdown on a drive featuring big runs by Tracy and a long catch by Odell Beckham Jr. Earlier in the game, Tracy had a nice start with 5 carries for 26 yards, running through tacklers and making good cuts while appearing healthy.NegativeDepth ChartAug 28, 2026
Despite not being in danger of being cut, Tracy is at risk of tumbling down the depth chart after a rough preseason featuring a brutal missed block and bad fumble. If the Giants don't trust Tracy and are content with a 1-2 punch of Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary (potentially giving way to Najee Harris), Tracy could end up on the inactive list—a stunning fall for the only player from his draft class to eclipse 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons. He could also find himself on the trading block, as teams from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree (Raiders' Klint Kubiak and Cardinals' Mike LeFleur) may target him for his receiving background and production track record.NegativeRoleAug 27, 2026
Tracy's roster spot is tenuous heading into 2026 after a shaky preseason. Despite posting at least 740 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons with a cumulative 74.0 PFF rushing grade, he produced a 40.0 overall PFF grade in the preseason thanks to allowing a sack and big hit on Jaxson Dart in Week 1 and fumbling untouched in the red zone in Week 2. The Giants signed Najee Harris as depth behind Cam Skattebo before the second preseason game, complicating Tracy's role. While he could still make the roster if the team retains four running backs, his spot seems tenuous, especially with Devin Singletary (75.0 PFF receiving grade) also shining in August.NegativeRoleAug 26, 2026
Tyrone Tracy Jr. desperately needed to execute as a pass protector against Miami in preseason Week 2 after a terrible blown assignment versus Minnesota. Tracy Jr. identified and picked up the blitz a few times in preseason Week 2 but also failed to square one block up, which led to a facilitated throw. He had two 10+ yard runs prior to his red zone fumble, including a TRAP run for 11 yards where he exploded through the hole with impressive acceleration. The source notes Tracy Jr. is a good football player with consecutive 1000+ all-purpose yard seasons and doubts the Giants would outright cut him, though the running back room remains a question with the signing of Najee Harris and Devin Singletary factoring into the competition.PositiveRoleAug 26, 2026
Experienced preseason struggles including a blocking miss and a red zone fumble, but Nagy expressed confidence in his bounce-back ability. Nagy emphasized Tracy's resume speaks for itself and told him to step up and keep playing, showing the coaching staff's confidence in him. Tracy got the ball the very next play after the fumble, demonstrating Nagy's willingness to move past the mistake quickly.NegativeDepth ChartAug 26, 2026
Running back has dropped to the second team on the unofficial Giants depth chart, signaling a shift in the backfield hierarchy.NegativeRoleAug 25, 2026
Head coach John Harbaugh defended Tracy's overall body of work after the preseason mistakes, stating 'I don't think you say, hey, a bad play or even two bad plays nullifies a whole career body of work.' Harbaugh acknowledged Tracy's conscientiousness and determination while noting the importance of avoiding mistakes like missed blocks and fumbles. The recent signing of Najee Harris, a four-time 1,000-yard rusher, has raised questions about whether Tracy could be fighting to remain on the roster despite his previous production.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
After making key mistakes in both preseason games—missing a block against Minnesota that led to Jaxson Dart taking a huge hit and a concussion check, and fumbling without being hit against Miami—Tracy has been dropped from sharing the first team with Cam Skattebo to sharing the second team with Devin Singletary and newly-signed Najee Harris. Despite surpassing 1,000 yards from scrimmage in each of his two seasons, the depth chart demotion signals reduced opportunity and role uncertainty.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Tracy's stock has plummeted over the last two weeks. In the preseason opener, he missed a block that allowed Minnesota Vikings safety Jay Ward to crush quarterback Jaxson Dart on a sack. In the game against Miami, Tracy lost a fumble before halftime and finished with six carries for 26 yards. Devin Singletary outperformed him with eight carries for 40 yards and a touchdown. While this may seem like an overreaction, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Giants move on from Tracy. Tracy is the most dynamic pass-catcher of the group, but if the Giants believe he's a liability in pass protection, they may cut or trade him.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Tyrone Tracy is the closest thing the Giants have to a game-breaking running back and should be kept on the 53-man roster despite miscues in preseason games. However, the Giants have depth at running back with Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Devin Singletary also on the roster, raising the question of whether Tracy could be deemed expendable for the right trade price.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Despite two fumbles in the first two preseason games, Tracy is projected to make the 53-man roster. Head coach John Harbaugh defended Tracy's overall body of work, noting that "a bad play or even two bad plays nullifies a whole career body of work" and emphasizing that Tracy had "numerous good runs, catches, pass protection pickups were good" outside of the fumbles. The Giants would "regret letting Tracy go" unless a running back-needy team offers significant draft capital. Harbaugh acknowledged the importance of ball security while balancing it against Tracy's positive contributions in pass protection and receiving.NegativeProjectionAug 24, 2026
Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a difficult preseason performance against the Dolphins, with the source noting his week "went from bad to worse" in the matchup. The source cautions that while the Giants were dominant overall against Miami, the level of competition needs to be factored into any analysis of individual performances.NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Tracy graded an ugly 40.9 due to an unforced fumble, a significant negative mark in his preseason evaluation.NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Tracy faces roster uncertainty despite back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons from scrimmage under Brian Daboll. The source believes Tracy should stay, but notes that under new head coach John Harbaugh, Tracy has made huge mistakes in two straight games that have raised trust concerns about keeping Jaxson Dart healthy and holding the ball. With Najee Harris, Cam Skattebo, Patrick Ricard, and Devin Singletary all staying, the Giants may have room for only five running backs, creating the possibility they could trade Tracy similar to their Daniel Faalele deal.NegativeBustAug 23, 2026
Tracy has now committed two major gaffes in two preseason games: in Week 1 he missed a blitz pickup resulting in a huge hit on quarterback Jaxson Dart, and on Saturday he fumbled away a scoring opportunity after runs of 11 and 12 yards. The source notes Tracy probably fumbled away playing time with Najee Harris on the roster and Singletary looking spry, and his roster spot may be in jeopardy. Despite Tracy's potential in both run and pass games, the new coaching staff will evaluate based on what they see, and these miscues are costly.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Tracy played against Miami and coughed up the ball untouched when he tried to switch it to his other hand before hitting the line; this unforced error is magnified given that Tracy has developed a reputation for fumbling when hit, raising questions about his role behind Skattebo.NegativeUsageAug 22, 2026
Tracy Jr. started behind Devin Singletary and quickly found his rhythm, ripping off two runs of 10-plus yards and helping the Giants move into the red zone. He had a positive blitz pickup but also whiffed on one with 32 seconds left in the first half. A fumble in wet conditions gave the ball away deep in enemy territory with a chance to extend the lead—a mistake the coaching staff will not tolerate. Tracy finished with six carries for 26 yards (4.3 YPC) and three catches for 22 yards.NegativeBustAug 22, 2026
Fumbled without being hit after two nice runs in the preseason Week 2 game. The source characterizes this as Tracy's second big mistake in two weeks, noting that his tough stretch continues into the second preseason game.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Tracy is a good but not close to great running back. The source notes that a missed block by Tracy in the preseason game against Minnesota was part of the context for the Giants signing Najee Harris, though the primary reason was to upgrade the running back room's playmaking ability.PositiveRoleAug 20, 2026
Running back remains first-string in Giants plans despite the signing of veteran Najee Harris. Tracy and Cam Skattebo have both been the first running back up throughout training camp, with Harbaugh indicating Harris will need a couple weeks to get into football shape after only doing individual drills.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
Tyrone Tracy Jr. has proven himself more than capable when given the chance and is the top candidate to be the #2 who shares work with Skattebo. If anything happens to Skattebo, he could be a big asset for fantasy. The source identifies him as one of a multitude of backup runners to target in double-digit rounds.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026
Harris's signing raises questions about Tracy's role in the Giants backfield. The source directly asks: 'Could Harris supplant Tracy as the primary second back in a time share with Skattebo?' suggesting Harris could displace Tracy from his current role if fully recovered.NegativeBustAug 17, 2026
Tracy Jr.'s stock fell in the Giants-Vikings preseason game; headline frames his performance as a 'big miss' that could cost him roster or role standing.NegativeRoleAug 15, 2026
Tracy failed to pick up a blitzer on a play where Jaxson Dart was hit and sent to the blue tent in the first half of the preseason game against Minnesota.NegativeUsageAug 15, 2026
Tracy added a pair of carries for five yards but had a tragic blown pass protection assignment that resulted in Dart's trip to the medical tent. His blown assignment in pass protection was the most impactful part of the running back room performance.PositiveDepth ChartAug 14, 2026
Locked as a core running back on the 53-man roster heading into the preseason.NegativeRoleAug 14, 2026
Running back facing question about whether he can carry the load in Giants' rushing attack. Context: Giants finished 18th in yards per carry (4.3), 25th in rushing success rate, and 16th in explosive run rate last year; when removing QB runs, fell to 25th in yards per carry (4.0), 27th in rushing success rate, and 20th in explosive run rate, raising questions about whether Giants have necessary components for ground game effectiveness.PositiveDepth ChartAug 9, 2026

Giants running back Tyrone Tracy is part of the offensive system designed around Matt Nagy's concept of "Elegant Simplicity," which aims to make every play look identical to opposing defenses while keeping the offense simple enough for players to execute without overthinking.NegativeRoleAug 5, 2026
Tyrone Tracy is not worried about being overshadowed by Cam Skattebo in the Giants backfield, indicating confidence in his role and usage despite the addition of competition.PositiveRoleAug 4, 2026
Tracy is part of a 1a/1b backfield with Cam Skattebo and will have 'a big role' for the Giants under head coach John Harbaugh, who emphasized both running backs will play significant snaps together. Tracy comes off back-to-back seasons of 1,000+ scrimmage yards (1,123 as a rookie in 2024, 1,028 last season) despite not beginning either season as the team's No. 1 running back, positioning him as a high-volume contributor in an offense designed to lean heavily on the run game with senior offensive assistant Greg Roman orchestrating complex run concepts.PositiveRoleAug 4, 2026
Running back entering new John Harbaugh system with momentum from back-to-back 1,000+ yard scrimmage seasons. Tracy Jr. frames the transition as an 'opportunity to show ourselves' and 'opportunity to really show the NFL who we are and what we can be,' expressing confidence that the Giants RB group 'can be a premier running back group.' His perspective suggests optimism about opportunity and role in the new offensive system despite the transition.PositiveDepth ChartAug 3, 2026
Locked as a running back on the 53-man roster.NegativeProjectionJul 27, 2026
Tracy's best utilization is in a committee rather than as a full-time workhorse; his best bet going forward is to continue improving play strength and downhill running, as he has a tendency to dance behind the line of scrimmage hunting for holes rather than attacking downhill, which conflicts with Greg Roman's man-gap blocking and downhill running schemes.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
Tracy stepped up admirably after Cam Skattebo's injury last year but will likely return to Skattebo's shadow to start the year; it remains to be seen how the load will be shared by Skattebo, Tracy, and Devin Singletary, creating role uncertainty heading into year three.PositiveProjectionJul 27, 2026
Tracy is the only running back, receiver, or tight end to eclipse 1,000 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two seasons; he's quietly been one of the Giants' greatest success stories in player development, improving his success rate, adding power while maintaining elusiveness, and cutting down the fumbles that plagued him as a rookie.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
RB Tyrone Tracy is 26 years old and is part of the Giants' extended young talent pool; the source notes that Tracy, along with other 26-year-olds, represents the broader young core beyond the primary under-25 ranking.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
One of the Giants' playmakers who will likely get the short end of a running back time share with Cam Skattebo. The Giants have dabbled with using him as a kickoff returner in past seasons (eight returns, 24.1 yards per return). Using him in that role would be a way to put the ball in his hands on additional occasions. Has practiced as a punt returner but hasn't done that in an NFL game.
