Singletary could face an uphill battle to make the Giants' Week 1 roster after the team signed Najee Harris on Tuesday, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

New York already seemed to be leaning towards a backfield committee with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Singletary all working with the offensive starters during the team's preseason opener last Saturday, but Harris potentially adds another running back to the mix once he proves he's fully recovered from an Achilles tear. Singletary was third on the depth chart prior to the signing, and a healthy Harris can handle any role he can, but with a much higher ceiling. Singletary signed a re-worked deal for 2026 in March to stay with the team, but that won't guarantee him a significant role in the offense.

Tracy will face more competition for snaps and touches after the Giants signed Najee Harris on Tuesday, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

New York already seemed to be leaning towards a backfield committee with Cam Skattebo, Tracy and Devin Singletary all working with the offensive starters during the team's preseason opener last Saturday, but Harris potentially adds another running back to the mix once he proves he's fully recovered from an Achilles tear. Tracy seems to have a clear path to a passing-down role, but Harris has a three-down resume from his time in Pittsburgh, including a 74-catch season in 2021 as a rookie, so he'll be a threat to all three incumbents. Tracy has produced a 74-572-3 line on 101 targets over his first 32 regular-season NFL games.

Skattebo gained more competition for snaps and touches Tuesday when the Giants signed Najee Harris, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

New York already seemed to be leaning toward a backfield committee with Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary all working with the offensive starters during the team's preseason opener last Saturday, but Harris potentially adds another running back to the mix once he proves he's fully recovered from an Achilles tear. Skattebo remains at the top of the depth chart, but given his own health concerns after his rookie season was cut short by an ankle injury that required surgery, his workload could be scaled back from 20.8 touches per game he averaged in the five weeks before getting hurt.

Kamara (knee) avoided a major injury Tuesday but "will be out for a few weeks," Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

A knee injury forced Kamara from Tuesday's practice, and while the veteran running back "didn't tear anything," a multi-week absence would cost him the rest of the preseason at the very least. The Saints are struggling to find healthy bodies for their backfield, with Travis Etienne being the only running back among the top four on the depth chart not carrying an injury tag.

Mendoza worked with the first-team offense in Tuesday's joint practice with the Texans, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

While Kirk Cousins got his normal reps with the ones Tuesday, coach Klint Kubiak kept the starters out there so Mendoza could also get some work in with the starting offense as well. It was the first time this summer that the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft has worked with the first-string unit. The practice reps come after Mendoza had a strong preseason debut last Thursday, completing 10 of 16 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown versus Arizona. Cousins has done nothing to lose his grip on the QB1 gig in Las Vegas, but Mendoza is still a good bet to make starts before his rookie season is over.

Riley (groin) exited New Orleans' practice Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Riley suffered a groin injury, though its severity is currently unknown. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as one of the team's starting cornerbacks during the upcoming campaign, but TJ Hall and Martin Emerson could see increased playing time should Riley be forced to miss time during the regular season.

The Jets hosted Manning for a tryout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Manning was waived by the Broncos with an injury settlement in early June. The undrafted rookie is now fully healthy and ready to take another shot at the NFL. With Nahshon Wright (hip), VJ Payne (undisclosed), D'Angelo Ponds (calf), Qwan'tez Stiggers (concussion) and Mory Bamba (knee) all dealing with injuries, Manning may have a shot at some preseason reps with the Jets.

Banks (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to Tampa Bay's injured reserve list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Banks went unclaimed on waivers after getting cut with an undisclosed injury Monday, and now he's bound to spend the entire 2026 campaign on the Buccaneers' injured reserve list. He was available for three games in 2025, playing exclusively on special teams.

Dedich (hand) is getting closer to a possible return, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Coach Sean McVay said that Dedich could put on a cast and participate in practice, but the overall go-ahead on any return will be determined by the training staff. The offensive lineman has not practiced since being placed on the active/non-football injury list in late July. Dedich could see limited participation very soon, which could significantly bolster the Rams' offensive line depth heading into the regular season.

The Ravens waived Robinson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Robinson joined the team as an undrafted free agent back in May but suffered an injury at some point during the summer. The 23-year-old could revert to Baltimore's injured reserve should he clear waivers.
