SEATTLE — At mid-week, Tyrone Tracy Jr. figured Devin Singletary would be fine and available for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
After all, Singletary, though diminutive, has proven to be a tough guy in his NFL career, with no games missed because of injury since his 2019 rookie year.
“God works in mysterious ways. You never know how you’re going to feel a few days from now,’’ Tracy told The Post. “He could be feeling way better. He’s a strong-minded guy, strong-willed guy, so he’ll be fine.’’
Singletary is not fine, listed as doubtful to play because of a groin strain he suffered in the 20-15 loss to the Cowboys.
Next up for the Giants at running back is Tracy, a rookie fifth-round pick who is in line for his first NFL start.
“I think I’m prepared,’’ Tracy said. “I have been preparing myself this whole time for this opportunity. At the same time, I’m not really gonna change anything I’ve been doing. I feel if you prepare the right way, when opportunity prepares itself, you’ll be ready.’’
Tracy and second-year Eric Gray will get the ball and represent the running game out of the backfield.
In four games, Tracy has been used here and there: 12 rushing attempts for just 29 yards and three receptions for 37 yards.
That he has looked more comfortable as a pass-catcher is unsurprising.
Tracy was a wide receiver at Iowa before converting to running back after transferring to Purdue.
During the mini-break — the Giants have not played since Sept. 26 — Tracy studied his limited body of work in the NFL and determined what he liked and did not like about his performance.
“You look at yourself in the mirror to see how you can get better,’’ Tracy said. “One thing I didn’t like was my pad level when I ran the ball, and I got to be more demonstrative, just forcing my will on defenses when I run the ball. I think if I change those two things, I’ll be way better off. The thing I do like, I think I’m catching the ball very well out of the backfield, and I’m picking up blitzes very well.’’
Julian Love, the former Giants safety, was forced out of Seattle’s 42-29 loss in Detroit last week and is listed as questionable for with a groin injury.
He started for his new team last season vs. the team that selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, with the Seahawks winning, 24-3, at MetLife Stadium.
“Obviously, just playing my game, you’ll naturally play with a little bit of a chip on your shoulder,’’ Love said. “It’s hard not to, you might fly around with a little extra pep in your step. We’ve been working all year, and I can’t just throw anything out the window just because I’m playing these guys.”
When Daniel Jones studied the Seahawks, he saw something quite unusual.
In the most recent game, they allowed a perfect game to the opposing quarterback, as Jared Goff completed all 18 of his passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns.
“Yeah, you saw him do it,’’ Jones said. “He played well and obviously threw the ball accurately and made good decisions. So, I think you understand the way the game works out a lot of times is you’re going to have some incompletions, some throwaways and throws that you miss but definitely something to shoot for.’’
