Harris released; Harbaugh cites roster constraints, not performance

RB Najee Harris was released by the Giants this week after serving as the starter the previous week. Harbaugh explained the move was not due to Harris criticizing the four-man running back rotation after the game, but rather a roster direction decision: "we're going to set a course, and it's hard to carry four backs." Harbaugh praised Harris's effort—"I thought he ran super hard"—but noted limited opportunities: "I didn't think he had a lot of [running] room, in all fairness, in the plays he happened to have in the last couple of weeks."
