NEW YORK — The Giants' offseason-long interest in adding a running back culminated Tuesday in the signing of free agent Najee Harris.
The 6-1, 242-pound veteran is a physical runner who John Harbaugh knows well as an opponent.
Harris, 28, rushed for 1,000-plus yards in four straight seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2021-24 in the same AFC North division as Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens.
Then he signed with Harbaugh's brother, Jim, and the Los Angeles Chargers last year before tearing his Achilles three games into the regular season.
"I know there's gonna be a lot of questions about how I'll come back," Harris said Tuesday after practice. "I'm ready to answer all those."

The injury-riddled Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a perfect position to reunite with a former fan-favorite wide receiver after his recent release.
On Tuesday, the New York Giants released former Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to make room for their Najee Harris signing. Pittsburgh, however, has dealt with major wide receiver injuries and could use a veteran like Smith-Schuster as a viable depth piece.
The Steelers' top two receiving options, DK Metcalf (unspecified) and Michael Pittman Jr. (right leg), have missed practice over the past few weeks with their respective injuries. Smith-Schuster, who has recorded 5,646 yards and 34 total touchdowns in his career, would immediately compete with Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard for a WR3 role.
Smith Schuster was drafted by the Steelers in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He earned 2018 Pro Bowl recognition for his outstanding seven touchdown, 1,439 yard season.
A reunion seems like a win-win scenario for both the veteran receiver and the team that drafted him. Pittman already tried to recruit Smith-Schuster before he joined the Giants, but now seems like the ideal opportunity to make this dream a reality.

The New York Giants signed Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason for a very fun reunion, and with their shaky wide receiver room, he might actually be a factor this season.
But Beckham wasn't the only veteran they added this offseason who's past their prime. On Tuesday, August 18, the Giants signed veteran running back Najee Harris to a one-year deal.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, to make room for Harris on the Giants' roster, they've released former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowler JuJu Smith-Schuster.
"In the corresponding move for signing RB Najee Harris, the Giants are planning to release veteran WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, per sources," Schefter reports.

The Giants are set to sign running back Najee Harris and his arrival will reportedly result in the departure of one of his former Steelers teammates from the NFC East team's roster.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Giants plan to release wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in a corresponding move. Smith-Schuster and Harris were both in Pittsburgh during the 2021 season.
Smith-Schuster signed with the Giants in early June, but is listed as a fourth-string receiver on the team's depth chart. He did not play in the team's first preseason game.
Smith-Schuster, who was a 2017 second-round pick in Pittsburgh, had 33 catches for 345 yards and a touchdown while with the Chiefs in 2025. He also played in Kansas City in 2022 and 2024 with a one-year run in New England splitting up his two stints in the AFC West.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Running back Najee Harris is signing with the New York Giants, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement.
The person spoke to The **** ociated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the deal had not yet been announced. The 28-year-old worked out for the team on Monday.
Harris is coming off tearing his left Achilles tendon on a noncontact play in a game on Sept. 21 while with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Giants coach John Harbaugh said Harris is not 100% healthy and expected it to be a process to get him up and going if signed. As a result, it was not immediately clear how soon Harris would participate in training camp practices.
Harris is not far removed from four consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons with Pittsburgh from 2021-24.

The New York Giants are adding some serious NFL experience to their running back room. The team has agreed to a one-year deal with former first-round pick Najee Harris, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Harris brings a proven track record to New York, but he also arrives after a season-ending injury cut his first year with the Los Angeles Chargers dramatically short.

Harris entered the NFL as the 24th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and immediately became a major part of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense. In each of his first four NFL seasons, Harris rushed for more than 1,000 yards, making him one of the league's most consistent running backs during that stretch.

The New York Giants are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris, per Mike Garafolo. Harris visited with the Giants yesterday and will now be joining the team. The terms of the deal are yet to be known.
Harris was drafted by the Steelers in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and rushed for 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, never missing a game. He signed with the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the 2025 season after the Steelers declined to pick up his fifth-year option before the 2024 campaign.
Unfortunately for Harris, his stint with the Chargers would be short-lived. He appeared in just three games before tearing his Achilles, ending his season. He now joins his former rival, John Harbaugh, who took over as head coach of the Giants after being fired by the Baltimore Ravens.

Najee Harris may be going from one Harbaugh brother to the other.
Harris is visiting with the Giants on Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Harris, 28, suffered a torn Achilles tendon while playing for the Chargers under Jim Harbaugh in 2025. The former first-round pick was able to play just three games before his injury.
John Harbaugh also knows what it's like to go against Harris well, with the running back playing the Ravens twice a year from 2021-2024 while with the Steelers. Harris started all 17 games for Pittsburgh in each of his first four seasons, rushing for 1,000 yards every year.
In 2024, Harris registered 1,043 yards on 263 carries with six touchdowns. He also had 36 receptions for 283 yards.

A troublesome reality is staring down Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, who is seemingly primed for a smaller role in 2026.
Per Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Rico Dowdle has emerged as the RB1 early in training camp, which isn't exactly great news for Warren heading into Year 5.
"Now 4 practices into camp, a couple of offensive depth chart declarations seem clear: Rico Dowdle is RB1 over Jaylen Warren, Roman Wilson is WR3 (well ahead of Germie Bernard)," Adamski wrote via X.
Warren spent the first three seasons of his career behind Najee Harris as a solid RB2 before emerging as the starting running back in 2025. Over the past four seasons, Warren has recorded 3,859 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns, including an impressive career average of 5.3 yards per touch.
Dowdle, who previously spent time with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy on the Dallas Cowboys, is on the verge of history heading into 2026, as he could become the first running back to record three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with three different teams.
