Running back Devonta Freeman, who has not played since Week 7, has been designated for return from injured reserve. Freeman was placed on IR Nov. 13 with a high ankle sprain and a hamstring injury.
Freeman was signed by the Giants after Saquon Barkley was lost with a torn ACL. In five games, he rushes 54 times for 172 yards, 3.2 yards per carry.
Freeman, a 28-year-old seven-year veteran, was the Giants’ primary back before being injured.
Since Freeman was hurt, Wayne Gallman has stepped into that role. Gallman has 561 yards rushing on 121 carries, 4.
