Tracy was drafted by the New York Giants in the 5th round (166th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft.[18] In Week 5 of the 2024 season against the Seattle Seahawks Tracy got his first start due to Devin Singletary being injured. Tracy had 18 carries for 129 yards and averaged 7.2 yards per carry.[19]

When Singletary returned from his injury in Week 7, he and Tracy split backfield work relatively evenly, toting 5 and 6 carries each, respectively; Singletary also logged 1 reception on 1 target, whereas Tracy caught 3 of 3.[20][21] From Week 8, however, Tracy had impressed the coaching staff – including head coach Brian Daboll[22] – enough to become the starter[23] and clear bell-cow back,[24] logging 20 carries, whereas Singletary ran the ball only twice, despite being fully healthy. This pattern continued through at least the team's bye in Week 11.[20][21]

In their game against the Carolina Panthers in Week 10, Tracy lost a crucial fumble in overtime that allowed the Panthers to kick the game winning field goal.[25]
