The New York Giants will have a different player providing running back depth this season. Jonathan Stewart had a poor start to the 2018 season and didn’t get much of a chance to bounce back after picking up an injury early on, and now, the Giants are moving on from the 31-year-old veteran running back.
Stewart only played in three games and had the worst year of his career by far, finishing with only 17 yards. He only had six rushing attempts total before being placed on the injured reserve list near the end of September. After spending a very short time on the active roster, it doesn’t look like Stewart will get a second shot to prove himself worthy of backing up Saquon Barkley, a job that was taken over by Wayne Gallman early in the season.
