One day after waiving wide receiver Bennie Fowler, the New York Giants promoted wide receiver Da’Mari Scott from the practice squad.
From the Giants:
Scott, 6-0 and 205 pounds, is a first-year pro from Fresno State who played in the final three games of the 2018 season for the Buffalo Bills. He did not have a reception. Scott was released by the Bills on Aug. 21 and signed to the Giants’ practice squad on Oct. 1.
The Giants also re-signed wide receiver Reggie White to their practice squad. White was on the squad from Sept. 1 to Nov. 12, when he was waived.
Scott will likely be used to return kicks or punts with the team’s main returners — safety Jabrill Peppers (fractured transverse process) and Golden Tate (concussion) sidelined for the foreseeable future.
White, a local product from Monmouth, made a bit of an impression in training camp and preseason this summer before getting released at the roster cutdown, reeling in 8 passes for 115 yards.
