Giants' John Harbaugh Considers Running Back Changes Before Trade Deadline

Following a disappointing 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh is reportedly considering changes to the running back position, particularly regarding second-year player Cam Skattebo. The Giants are among teams that might pursue Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor before the NFL trade deadline on November 10.

In a recent mailbag, sports analyst Connor Hughes indicated that Harbaugh may be looking for a new primary running back, as Skattebo has struggled to perform at that level. Skattebo's lack of touches in the Saints game was attributed to a previous fumble against the Washington Commanders, but there are indications that his demotion may be linked to broader concerns about his capabilities.

Harbaugh's desire for a more effective running back was evident when the team released veteran Najee Harris. Hughes noted that acquiring Taylor could require a significant investment, potentially a Day 2 draft pick. The Giants are set to face the Houston Texans this Sunday, with Skattebo expected to have a more prominent role in the game plan.
