Why did it take so long for the New York Giants to give Wayne Gallman the reigns?

The New York Giants have had a revolving door at running back this season, and it was all sparked by Saquon Barkley’s torn ACL in week 2 against the Chicago Bears. Management went out and signed veteran Devonta Freeman, who has also suffered through injuries this season, giving more reps to back-ups Wayne Gallman and Alfred Morris. However, quarterback Daniel Jones still managed to lead the team in rushing for a majority of the campaign until the Giants’ offensive line finally began to click.

When left guard will Hernandez tested positive for COVID-19, former Oregon lineman Shane Lemieux was inserted into the starting lineup.
