Giants’ Todd Davis retires, Blake Martinez activated

New York Giants LB Todd Davis, who was signed over the weekend, has retired. Meanwhile, LB Blake Martinez has been activated.

The New York Giants signed veteran linebacker Todd Davis over the weekend but his stay in East Rutherford was short-lived.

Similar to Kelvin Benjamin, who was released last week and subsequently returned to Florida indicating that his NFL career was over, Davis decided that he needed just a sip of Giants camp to call it quits.

The Giants announced on Tuesday that Davis has been placed on the Reserve/Retired list.

Meanwhile, the Giants also announced that linebacker Blake Martinez and safety Joshua Kalu have been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Martinez was in pads at the start of Giants practice, although head coach Joe Judge acknowledged that the defensive captain would be on somewhat of a pitch count.

“He won’t take every rep that he’d normally take,” Judge told reporters.

Finally, the Giants placed wide receiver Derrick Dillon the Reserve/Injured list.
