ESPN's Jordan Ranaan provides insight into the Giants' backfield situation with Saquon Barkley sidelined. Ranaan expects Matt Breida to have the biggest role, citing his familiarity with the offense and reliability in pass protection. Gary Brightwell will also see some carries, while Eric Gray will be used sporadically as a runner and pass-catcher.
- Matt Breida is expected to have the biggest role in the Giants' backfield with Saquon Barkley out.
- Breida's familiarity with HC Brian Daboll's offense and reliability in pass protection are contributing factors.
