The New York Giants made a slew of roster moves on Saturday afternoon ahead of their Week 9 tilt against the Washington Football Team, including the activation of veteran cornerback Brandon Williams (groin) from injured reserve.

Williams takes the roster spot of fellow cornerback Ryan Lewis, who was placed on IR earlier this week with a hamstring injury.

In addition to the activation of Williams, the Giants also promoted defensive back Montre Hartage and running back Alfred Morris from their practice squad.

Both had been activated in Week 8 as well, with Morris seeing the most action in the game. He gained 28 yards on eight carries.

Finally, with guard Will Hernandez remaining on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the Giants also promoted offensive lineman Chad Slade from the practice squad.

Like Hartage and Morris, Slade was also activated in Week 8.
