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."

Harris was released by the Giants two days after starting Sunday with just four carries for 2 yards, the worst output of six players credited with a carry. He expressed frustration with the team's running-back-by-committee approach, saying 'It's hard to get into a rhythm with one or two runs' and noting the difficulty of being pulled out mid-series. A source told ESPN that Harris' comments were not the reason for his release, but the limited workload and ineffectiveness in a crowded backfield contributed to his departure.

Harris expressed frustration with the running-back-by-committee approach, saying 'It's hard to get into a rhythm with one or two runs' and noting the difficulty of being taken out for a series. Despite the Giants dressing four running backs (Harris, Skattebo, Tracy Jr., and Singletary), the team managed only 34 total rushing yards against New Orleans.
