The New York Giants released running back Najee Harris two days after he started in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. Harris, who had only four carries in the 34‑27 defeat, expressed frustration with the team’s running‑back‑by‑committee approach. Head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged the player’s concerns and emphasized the need for a consistent rhythm. In five games with the Giants, Harris accumulated 31 carries for 99 yards, the lowest average of his six‑year NFL career. The release marks a swift roster change following the Sunday night loss.

Judge Ana Reyes withdrew her request that Justice Department attorneys sign a filing in the East Potomac Golf Links case after President Donald Trump called her a “crazed lunatic” on Truth Social. The reversal came after a nearly seven‑hour hearing in which Reyes had invoked Rule 11 to require DOJ attorneys to identify who signed the brief. Reyes said she would no longer require the identification, citing “better things to spend our time on.” The case centers on Trump’s plan to renovate the federally owned golf course, which the National Park Service recently removed about 430 trees from. The judge’s earlier temporary restraining order barred further tree removals, and the hearing prompted Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward to seek Reyes’ removal from the case. Both Woodward and Trump have requested the release of the court’s audio recordings of the proceedings.

Trump’s remarks were intended to rally Republican voters ahead of the midterm elections.
