New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy has been demoted to the second team after mistakes in preseason games against the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins. Tracy's performance included a missed block leading to a teammate’s injury and a fumble. As a 2024 fifth-round pick, he had previously shown promise with over 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two seasons. Head coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in Tracy’s overall capabilities despite recent mishaps, but the addition of veteran rusher Najee Harris could make his roster spot uncertain.
