NY Giants cut Rod Smith from practice squad, add another veteran running back

The NY Giants continued to shuffle up their running back room on Tuesday by releasing uninspiring veteran running back Rod Smith and adding another veteran in the form of Alfred Morris.

Smith was originally signed by the NY Giants after a four-year stint with the Dallas Cowboys bur failed to make his mark in 2019 before not originally being retained this offseason.

Big Blue ended up bringing Smith back at the beginning of the 2020 season, adding him to the practice squad at the end of training camp.

The move was a curious one as the NY Giants had already let a promising young running back go late into camp, and Rod Smith has never shown himself to be a factor in the NFL with just 364 career rushing yards on a 3.
