Rookie running back Eric Gray has been activated off injured reserve Saturday ahead of the New York Giants' Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots.
Gray, a fifth-round draft choice (172nd overall), has not played since Week 7 because of a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve. Gray thus far has been used primarily as a return specialist but has 13 rushing attempts for 27 yards in seven games, the bulk of which came in Week 5 at Miami.
Gray played two years at Tennessee before transferring to Oklahoma for his final two seasons. He played in 47 career games and made 23 starts between the schools, totaling 549 carries for 3,089 yards (5.6 per carry) and 21 touchdowns. He also registered 99 receptions for 827 yards (8.4 yards per catch) and five scores. In 2022, he produced the ninth-best single-season rushing total in Oklahoma history (1,366 yards).
