Najee Harris promises Giants he will recover from Achilles injury

Najee Harris, a four-time 1,000-yard running back, made a promise to the New York Giants regarding his recovery from a torn Achilles during his first practice on August 18. After a challenging offseason on the 2026 NFL free agency market, he emphasized the need to demonstrate his health and readiness. Harris stated that all his past performances are irrelevant and that proving himself now is what matters. He feels confident in the Giants' new offensive scheme under coach John Harbaugh and is familiar with run-blocking styles favoring his skills, which influenced his decision to join the team. Harbaugh believes it will take Harris about 2-3 weeks to be fully up to speed.
