Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Outplayed by Gray on Thursday

Tracy rushed five times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.

Tracy got the start at running back with veteran Devin Singletary sitting out, and the rookie fifth-round pick looked spry in limited action. His first career carry went for five yards, and Tracy added a 12-yard burst later in the first quarter. Tracy's competing for the backup role against Eric Gray, who exploded for 98 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on eight first-half touches. While Tracy wasn't targeted in this game, he has substantial upside as a pass catcher, having played wide receiver in college before converting to running back for the last two years at Purdue. Tracy and Gray will likely continue to jostle for depth chart positioning in the second preseason game against the Texans next Saturday.
