Giants make several roster moves on Tuesday.

The New York Giants made several roster moves, including the activation of three players from the reserve/COVID-19 list while placing linebacker Kyler Fackrell on the injured reserve list, the team announced Tuesday.

Fackrell was placed on the injured reserve list due to a calf injury and could be eligible to return for the Giants’ final two games of the season. A 2020 free-agent signee, Fackrell has 3.0 sacks, six tackles for loss and nine quarterback hits.

The Giants also activated tight end Kaden Smith, offensive tackle Matt Peart and wide receiver Dante Pettis from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time to begin practice as the team prepares for the Week 13 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

In addition, the Giants also waived defensive back Montre Hartage and punter Ryan Santoso. Wide receiver Derrick Dillon and tight end Nate Wieting were released from the practice squad.
