The New York Giants were forced to waive linebacker Trent Harris earlier this week in order to move rookie edge rusher Nika Lalos onto their 53-man roster.
All along, the expectation was that Harris would re-sign to the team’s practice squad if he cleared waivers and that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday evening.
Harris originally signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie out of Miami in 2018 and spent his first season on the team’s practice squad.
In 2019, Harris signed with the Miami Dolphins and appeared in 11 games (three starts), recording 22 tackles (one for a loss), one forced fumble, two QB hits and 1.5 sacks.
The Dolphins waived Harris as a part of final cuts in September and he joined the Giants slightly more than a week later. In four games (two starts) this season, the 25-year-old has recorded five tackles, one QB hit and 0.5 sacks.
