Eric Gray - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

No snaps in Week 15 Gray was active but didn't play a snap on offense or special teams in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Since being activated from the reserve/PUP list in Week 12, Gray has suited up for each of the Giants' ensuing three games, but Sunday marked the first time that he had failed to receive any playing time. Gray hadn't seen any work out of the backfield but appeared on special teams in both of the previous two contests, bringing back two kickoffs for 41 yards.

Activated off IR The Giants have activated Gray (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Gray was able to practice in full all week. This activation was the last step in the 26-year-old's ability to suit up for the Giants' Week 12 matchup versus the Lions. The third-year pro will likely split running back duties with both Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy.

Impact The third-year pro from Oklahoma practiced in full all week but must still be activated to the Giants' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If Gray returns in Week 12, he could split some of the Giants' backfield duties with Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy.

Logs full practice Gray (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Gray has been on the PUP list all season, but he was designated to return Wednesday. That he was immediately able to log a full session is positive, though his status for Sunday's matchup against the Lions remains uncertain.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Practice window opens Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed that Gray (knee) will be designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The third-year pro from Oklahoma has missed all 11 of the Giants' games this season after tearing his MCL in the spring, but it now appears that he's nearing a return. Gray now has 21 days to be added to New York's active roster before reverting to the reserve/PUP list. Once fully healthy, he could see touches in a crowded Giants' backfield, especially with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Set to miss early action Gray was moved to the reserve/PUP list byt the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

Impact Gray has been sidelined since the beginning of training camp as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. The running back will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season while on the PUP list.

Begins camp on PUP list The Giants placed Gray (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact It's not clear what issue has caused Gray to not be ready for the start of training camp, but it will be important for him to get back on the field quickly since he's not a lock for a roster spot. Gray can be activated from the PUP list and begin practicing as soon as he passes a physical.

Shows little progress in Year 2 Gray rushed 14 times for 31 yards and caught 10 of 11 targets for 82 yards in 17 regular-season games during the 2024 campaign. He also tallied 554 kick-return yards on 21 opportun...

Impact Gray played in all 17 games and logged 41 more defensive snaps in 2024 compared to his rookie 2023 campaign, but he got three fewer carries and tallied 17 fewer rushing yards. His 2.2 YPC gave New York little reason to use him as a ball carrier, though Gray did improve mildly on his numbers as a pass catcher. The Oklahoma product's biggest role was as a kick returner, but his ball-security issues led the Giants to turn to Ihmir Smith-Marsette as their lead kick returner late in the campaign. Gray will be in the third year of his rookie contract in 2025, and given his lack of production thus far along with Tyrone Tracy's emergence as the team's lead back, there does seem to be much room for Gray to ascend on New York's depth chart.

Works far behind Tracy again Week 6 Gray gained 13 yards on three carries in a loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Devin Singletary was inactive for the second straight week due to a groin injury, but that didn't result in more work for Gray. In fact, the second-year back played half as many offensive snaps (13) as he did last week against Seattle and got four fewer touches. Meanwhile, rookie Tyrone Tracy continued to impress with 107 yards from scrimmage and a rushing touchdown while logging a workhorse-like 84 percent of New York's offensive snaps. Gray's modest 13 rushing yards more than doubled his previous season-high mark, which only indicates what a minor part of the Giants' ground game he's been this season. It remains to be seen if Singletary will be back Week 7 against the Eagles -- and whether Tracy has done enough to take over the team's lead-back role upon Singletary's return -- but either way, it doesn't appear that Gray is going to have a significant enough workload moving forward to be a factor in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Runs behind Tracy after fumble Gray rushed four times for four yards, caught three of four targets for 50 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Gray made consecutive catches of 18 and 19 yards on the Giants' first drive, which earned him the first crack at goal-line carries in the absence of Devin Singletary (groin). Gray fumbled away that opportunity, losing the ball just outside the goal line for a fumble that was returned 100 yards for a touchdown the other way. The Giants leaned heavily on Tyrone Tracy (18 carries for 129 yards) the rest of the way. Gray is clearly behind both Singletary and Tracy on the depth chart heading into Week 6 against the Bengals, but he could get some opportunities in passing situations if Singletary sits again.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal workload in Week 4 Gray rushed one time for one yard in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Gray once again saw the majority of his workload come as a kick returner, producing 54 yards on two returns. He played just five out of the team's 69 offensive snaps, operating as the clear No. 3 option at running back behind Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy. Through four games in 2024, Gray has compiled seven yards on four carries while playing 15 total offensive snaps.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Touches ball only as returner Gray didn't log any rushes or targets in Sunday's Week 2 loss to Washington, and he returned five kickoffs for 128 yards.

Impact Though he did fine as a kick returner, Gray made no fantasy impact in most formats since he didn't touch the ball on offense. Meanwhile, rookie Tyrone Tracy got just one offensive touch (a two-yard rush) while veteran tailback Devin Singletary dominated the backfield work with 16 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown along with one reception for no yards. Through two weeks, it seems apparent that Singletary will take on a workhorse role for New York, with Tracy and Gray getting limited scraps behind him.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets limited looks in season opener Gray rushed twice for six yards and caught his only target for nine yards in a 28-6 Week 1 loss to Minnesota on Sunday. He added a 22-yard kick return.

Impact With Saquon Barkley off to Philadelphia, there was reason to believe that Gray could see more of a share of the work in the backfield in his second NFL campaign. That didn't come to pass against the Vikings, as Devin Singletary dominated New York's rushing role with 10 carries while both Gray and fellow backup tailback Tyrone Tracy got two totes apiece. The Giants falling behind early and trailing 28-6 by the end of the third period probably impacted the team's overall game plan, though New York could be playing from behind often this season given the state of its roster, and with that in mind it's worth noting that both Singletary (five targets) and Tracy (three targets) saw more work in the passing game. As a whole, Gray logged just seven snaps to Tracy's 15 and Singletary's 50, hence it makes sense to view Gray as the current No. 3 option in the running back pecking order.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in second preseason game Gray rushed three times for 18 yards and added five receptions on six targets for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to Houston.

Impact After shining with 98 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in New York's first exhibition game, Gray took a back seat Saturday while 2024 starting tailback Devin Singletary got his first preseason action. Despite the reduced workload, Gray did nothing to diminish his chance of earning the backup RB role, with his most impressive play being a 13-yard carry in the third quarter. Tyrone Tracy (ankle) missed the game, but his injury isn't expected to be a long-term one, and he could return for the Giants' final preseason contest next Saturday against the Jets. It's still uncertain which of the two will ultimately end up as the primary backup behind Singletary, though both Gray and Tracy could end up getting a fair amount of opportunities in 2024 if Singletary isn't used as a workhorse to the same extent that Saquon Barkley was last year.
