Tyrone Tracy Jr. - Page 12 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Works as No. 2 running back Week 1 Tracy carried twice for two yards and caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Devin Singletary led New York's backfield with 50 offensive snaps (70 percent of the team's total) in the loss, while Tracy logged 15 offensive snaps and Eric Gray tallied seven. Gray was slightly more effective than Tracy with six yards on two carries and nine yards on one reception, but there isn't much to glean from the pair's production given their limited touches. Based on the Week 1 snap counts, it appears Singletary could function in a workhorse role while Tracy and Gray, in that order, pick up leftovers behind him. However, more clarity could come when/if the Giants are involved in a competitive contest -- the team trailed throughout Sunday's opener, resulting in Daniel Jones putting up 42 pass attempts.

Avoids practice report Tracy (ankle) wasn't listed on the Giants' practice report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact During an Aug. 13 session, Tracy initially suffered what was believed to be a serious injury to his lower right leg, which spurred the Giants to encase it in an air cast, cart him off the field and transport him to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. Eventually, the 2024 fifth-round selection was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, and within a week he was back on the practice field. Now that he's back to 100 percent, Tracy will serve as the No. 2 RB behind Devin Singletary to begin his rookie campaign.

Tyrone Tracy Jr Back to Practice After Avoiding Injury Scare The Giants' rookie running back returned to the practice field after what appeared to be a serious injury suffered last week.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • SI.COM

Returning to practice Tracy (ankle) will practice Tuesday, de reports.

Impact Even if he's a limited participant, the quick return to practice exactly a week after suffering an ankle sprain suggests Tracy is on track to play Week 1 against Minnesota. He dominated snaps in the early portion of New York's preseason opener with Devin Singletary resting, taking five carries for 26 yards in a 14-3 win over the Lions. Eric Gray was next through the rotation and had 98 yards from scrimmage and a pair of TDs, later adding three carries for 18 yards and five catches for 22 yards in the second preseason game (a loss to Houston). It's possible the third and final exhibition -- this Saturday against the Jets -- provides a hint as to whether Tracy or Gray will enter Week 1 as the No. 2 RB behind Singletary.

Already running at practice Tracy (ankle) resumed running and cutting with trainers to the side at Thursday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Tracy suffered a right low-ankle sprain at Tuesday's practice, so it's encouraging to see him already getting some work in on the side field. Initially, due to the fact that he was carted off the field and taken to a hospital for examination, it was feared that Tracy had suffered a severe injury, but it now looks like he could resumes practicing on at least a limited basis as soon as next week. Tracy does figure to sit out Saturday's preseason game against Houston, though.

Has low-ankle sprain Tracy was diagnosed with a low right-ankle sprain after he got injured during Tuesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Initially, Tracy was believed to have suffered a serious injury because he needed an air cast on his lower right leg and was carted off the practice field before being taken to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. After that visit, though, the rookie fifth-rounder was back in the team facility in meetings a few hours later, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, with his lower right leg in a boot. Tracy's prognosis is week-to-week, which presumably will keep him sidelined for the Giants' final two preseason games but could allow him to be available Week 1 against the Vikings.

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Tracy suffered a sprained right ankle during Tuesday's practice, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Tracy's lower right leg appeared to buckle as he reached for a ball during a kickoff drill, and the rookie fifth-rounder eventually was carted off the field with the leg in question in an air cast. Tracy then was escorted to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan to be evaluated further. Fortunately for Tracy, he's already back in the Giants' facility for meetings, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, meaning he seems to have avoided a major injury. With two preseason games left on New York's slate, the team likely will continue to exercise caution, which could impact his standing in the RB pecking order behind starter Devin Singletary.

Impact Tracy had to be carted off the practice field Tuesday during a kickoff drill, with an air cast on his lower right leg. Evaluation at the HSS will provide a comprehensive picture of Tracy's injury, which it looks like could be severe. If the rookie fifth-round pick is forced to miss significant time, Eric Gray and Dante Miller will figure to bump up the backfield depth chart behind veteran starter Devin Singletary.

Carted off at practice Tuesday Tracy (lower leg) was carted off the practice field Tuesday due to what appears to be a right lower leg injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Tracy has an aircast on his right leg, and it appears that he may have suffered a major injury. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the rookie fifth-round pick's lower leg or ankle appeared to buckle as he reached for the ball during a kickoff drill. Tracy rushed five times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in the Giants' preseason opener against the Lions, and he's spent training camp competing with Eric Gray for the backup gig behind Devin Singletary. If Tracy's injury is indeed serious, Gray will stand to inherit the No. 2 role, while Dante Miller would vault to the No. 3 spot.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Outplayed by Gray on Thursday Tracy rushed five times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.

Impact Tracy got the start at running back with veteran Devin Singletary sitting out, and the rookie fifth-round pick looked spry in limited action. His first career carry went for five yards, and Tracy added a 12-yard burst later in the first quarter. Tracy's competing for the backup role against Eric Gray, who exploded for 98 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on eight first-half touches. While Tracy wasn't targeted in this game, he has substantial upside as a pass catcher, having played wide receiver in college before converting to running back for the last two years at Purdue. Tracy and Gray will likely continue to jostle for depth chart positioning in the second preseason game against the Texans next Saturday.

Leading battle for No. 2 RB role Tracy is the leader early in training camp for the Giants' No. 2 running-back role behind Devin Singletary, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Impact New York's RB pecking order behind Singletary is far from settled, but Tracy's experience as a pass catcher could be a deciding factor in determining his level of opportunity. The rookie spent most of his college career as a wide receiver, which Dunleavy speculates would make him a "perfect fit" in an offense that may look to the short pass as an extension of the running game. Of course, Tracy's time spent as a wideout has cut into his experience in the backfield, and he recently acknowledged that he's still "learning how to be a running back" while indicating that he's "picked up things pretty fast." From a fantasy perspective, Tracy is an intriguing sleeper given the reasonable possibility that New York will be playing from behind often this season as well as the likelihood that Singletary won't be used as a workhorse to the level Saquon Barkley was in recent campaigns.
