Set for No. 1 role Sunday Tracy is set to operate as the Giants' lead back in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks with Devin Singletary (groin) inactive for the contest, per Dan Salomone of the tea...
Impact Tracy has been building up to his No. 1 role by taking first-team reps throughout the week, and the rookie fifth-round pick will now have a chance to log his most extensive workload as a pro yet. The matchup against a Seahawks defense that's allowed just 82.0 rushing yards per contest through its first two home games is daunting on paper; however, Tracy could make for a viable deeper-league and DFS tournament option based on the volume he should see with only second-year back Eric Gray and practice-squad call-up Dante Miller to compete with for carries.

Likely lead back against Seahawks Tracy is in line to lead the Giants' backfield Sunday against the Seahawks, as Devin Singletary (groin) is listed as doubtful, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact If Singletary doesn't play, Eric Gray would likely mix in as well, but Tracy has 18 combined carries and targets through four games compared to Gray's five. Tracy has averaged just 2.4 yards per carry in his young career, but the rookie fifth-round pick out of Purdue could be an intriguing PPR dart throw, as he's a converted wide receiver who can contribute as a pass catcher out of the backfield as well as on the ground.

Limited production in Week 4 Tracy rushed four times for two yards and secured one catch for 19 yards in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact Tracy saw his usage decrease slightly in Week 4, playing 15 offensive snaps against Dallas. The rookie made his most significant play in the third quarter, turning a short pass into a 19-yard reception. Tracy remains firmly behind Devin Singletary in New York's backfield, though he has distanced himself from Eric Gray to operate as the team's clear No. 2 option at running back.

Sees uptick in touches Week 3 Tracy rushed five times for 23 yards and added two catches on two targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-15 win against Cleveland.
Impact Tracy's performance was highlighted by a 12-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter that helped set up New York's first touchdown. Overall, the rookie running back logged his most touches (seven) and highest total yardage (40) through three games this season. Veteran Devin Singletary posted a 16-65-1 line on the ground and a 4-43-0 line through the air and remains the Giants' lead back, but Tracy appears to be distancing himself from second-year RB Eric Gray for the backup role. Gray had just one touch on offense Sunday and played on only three of New York's offensive snaps to Tracy's 22.

Gets just one touch Week 2 Tracy rushed once for two yards and didn't receive any passing targets in Sunday's loss to Washington. He added one kick return for 28 yards.
Impact Tracy's lone touch on offense came in the second quarter, when he notched a two-yard rush on a second-down play. While he did contribute in the return game, second-year back Eric Gray made more of an impact in that regard, returning five kickoffs for 128 yards. Tracy's lack of opportunities on offense Sunday didn't correlate with more work for Gray, who got zero touches -- instead, the game plan was a further indication that Devin Singletary, who tallied 95 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, may be used in a workhorse role similar to how Saquon Barkley was deployed last season. Through two weeks, Tracy has just three carries and three targets to Singletary's 26 and six, respectively.

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 • 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.
