For the second time this year, the New York Giants have parted ways with wide receiver Corey Coleman.
The team announced on Tuesday that Coleman had been cut from the practice squad in order to make room for tight end Nakia Griffin-Stewart, who was signed.
Coleman joined the Giants in 2018 under head coach Pat Shurmur and later missed the 2019 season due to a torn ACL. He returned this offseason under head coach Joe Judge and appeared to have a solid camp to the naked eye, but was released in September.
The Giants re-signed Coleman to their practice squad in October but he never managed to make it back to the field on game day.
With Kaden Smith on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the Giants needed an extra body at tight end, which led to this roster shuffle and the arrival of Griffin-Stewart.
Griffin-Stewart spent three seasons at Rutgers before transferring to Pittsburgh in 2019. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound tight end was signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted rookie but released after training camp. He also had a brief cup of coffee with the Green Bay Packers.
