EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Maybe Eric Gray reads Big Blue View.
After I indicated he had been losing ground to Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Dante Miller in the competition for running back snaps behind Devin Singletary, then left him my latest 53-man roster projection, the second-year back had a dominant performance for the New York Giants Thursday night in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
Gray had a 48-yard touchdown run, juking Detroit defensive back Morice Norris so violently that Norris lost his footing. That had to be satisfying for Gray, who took an unnecessary hit from Norris during Monday’s joint practice that saw his helmet fly off.
