Summary
Najee Harris said he feels ready to return after a torn Achilles, but is still ramping up and not yet in full football shape after getting into pads for the first time.
John Harbaugh said the Giants expect a 2-to-3-week buildup, with Harris needing contact work before he can play and his progress to be managed day by day.
Harris said he chose New York for opportunity and a downhill style that fits his game, joining a crowded backfield with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary.
The 4-time 1,000-yard rusher said he carries an even bigger chip on his shoulder this season, with his past production secondary to proving he can return strong from the injury.
