Alfred Morris: Cut loose by Big Blue
The Giants cut Alfred Morris on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.Despite getting some playing time for the Giants last year, the 32-year-old running back failed to make it past the first round of cuts this preseason. Morris will perhaps try to find a roster spot elsewhere, while the Giants are left with Saquon Barkley (knee), Devontae Booker, Corey Clement, Gary Brightwell and Sandro Platzgummer in the backfield.

Giants' Alfred Morris: Useful in limited role
Alfred Morris finished 2020 with 55 carries for 238 yards (4.3 YPC) and one touchdown.Morris was reasonably effective as Wayne Gallman's backup after Saquon Barkley went down, but the journeyman veteran is unlikely to serve as more than a depth piece if he makes a team next year.

Giants' Alfred Morris: Vultures two touchdowns
Alfred Morris carried the ball eight times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Seahawks. He added one reception for six yards and a touchdown.Morris was out-touched by Wayne Gallman 16-9, though he vultured two touchdowns to account for his production. His first trip to the end zone came on a four-yard rush, which came one play after Gallman broke free for a 60-yard gain. On the New York Giants' following offensive possession, Morris caught a six-yard touchdown when he leaked from the backfield uncovered. Though he won't serve as the team's lead back, Morris could continue to see goal-line work in Week 14 against Arizona if Devonta Freeman (ankle/hamstring/illness) remains sidelined.

Giants' Alfred Morris: Garners four carries
Alfred Morris had four carries for eight yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.The veteran tailback played only eight offensive snaps, so the four touches isn't representative of the time he spent on the field. Wayne Gallman received 27 touches while Dion Lewis played 22 offensive snaps, clearly illustrating that Morris won't be involved much in the current backfield.

Giants' Alfred Morris: Jumps to active roster
The New York Giants signed Alfred Morris off their practice squad Friday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.The Giants have elevated Morris to the active roster the last two games, which also happens to be the maximum number of times a team can do so with any player this season. During those outings, he combined for 17 carries for 95 yards and one catch (on one target) for four yards while working behind Wayne Gallman and Dion Lewis. With Devonta Freeman bumped to injured reserve after aggravating an ankle injury at Thursday's practice, Morris is set to get regular work for at least the next two contests (Sunday against the Eagles and Week 12 at Cincinnati).
