According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, NY Giants head coach Pat Shurmur told the media this week that the team could pursue a “long-term” option at running back next week via free agency.
Duggan listed veteran free agents Jacquizz Rodgers and Andre Ellington as potential options.
For now, the Giants will roll with Jon Hilliman as their third-string running back, as he was promoted from the practice squad on Thursday.
Shurmur added that the team will not place Saquon Barkley on Injured Reserve (with the designation to return).
