News: 2 days agoTracy (ankle) resumed running and cutting with trainers to the side at Thursday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Spin: Tracy suffered a right low-ankle sprain at Tuesday's practice, so it's encouraging to see him already getting some work in on the side field. Initially, due to the fact that he was carted off the field and taken to a hospital for examination, it was feared that Tracy had suffered a severe injury, but it now looks like he could resume practicing on at least a limited basis as soon as next week. Tracy does figure to sit out Saturday's preseason game against Houston, though.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The Giants chose Tracy in the fifth round of April's draft. He shined in his one season as a running back at Purdue after several seasons as a wide receiver in Iowa's troubling offense. Of course, the Giants signed former competent Texans/Bills veteran Devin Singletary in March, and he figures to handle the bulk of the work, but Singletary has never caught more than 40 passes or tallied 300 receiving yards in a season. Tracy may become the third-down back, but this still isn't a strong offense, so don't expect more than RB5 production.
