Harris got the starting nod over a "punished" Cam Skattebo, he received just four carries in the loss. "It's hard to get into a rhythm with one or two plays," Harris said postgame. "… If you're getting a play here and then get taken out for a series, there's nothing you could do. I've never been through none of this before." In five games with the Giants this season, Harris piled up 31 carries but just 99 rushing yards. His 3.2 yards per carry were the fewest he's averaged in a six-year NFL career.

Harris released after averaging 3.2 YPC in limited role with Giants.

Harris started over Cam Skattebo in Week 6 loss to Saints but received just four carries for two yards, continuing a frustrating running-back-by-committee approach. In five games with the Giants this season, Harris accumulated 31 carries for 99 rushing yards (3.2 yards per carry), the lowest average of his six-year NFL career. Harris expressed postgame frustration: "It's hard to get into a rhythm with one or two plays... If you're getting a play here and then get taken out for a series, there's nothing you could do. I've never been through none of this before." Two days after the loss, Harris was released by the Giants.
