The Chargers announced Wednesday that defensive lineman Joe Gaziano was placed on the injured reserve. In correspondence, Los Angeles signed DL Christopher Hinton to the active roster.

Additionally, L.A. signed wide receiver Jason Moore and DL Aaron Crawford to the practice squad.

Gaziano suffered a groin injury in the victory over the Titans. In five games, he logged eight tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack.

Hinton has appeared in one game this season in Week 14 against the Dolphins. He was inactive last weekend after being promoted from the practice squad.

Moore caught one of his two targets for five yards through six games this season with the Chargers.

Crawford started his career with the Ravens as an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina in 2020. He appeared in one game that season. Crawford spent time on the Giants’ practice squad before being waived.

Giants add DT Aaron Crawford to practice squad, release DB Olaijah Griffin

The New York Giants have signed DT Aaron Crawford to the practice squad and released DB Olaijah Griffin.

Editor’s note: The Giants terminated the contract of Aaron Crawford on Wednesday morning, less than 48 hours after he was signed.

With a need at defensive tackle after Nick Williams (biceps) landed on injured reserve, the New York Giants shuffled their practice squad a bit on Tuesday.

The team announced that defensive tackle Aaron Crawford had been signed. And in an effort to clear additional room for some upcoming moves, the Giants also released defensive back Olaijah Griffin from the reserve unit.

Crawford originally signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2020 where he played under current Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. The 6-foot-1, 315-pounder remained with Baltimore until being released on September 1.

In one career game (2020), Crawford has recorded one tackle.

Griffin, the son of Warren G and nephew of Dr. Dre, was claimed off waivered from the Buffalo Bills in mid-August and released two weeks later. The Giants re-signed him to their practice squad on September 28.

The team also worked out defensive tackle Anthony Rush, but he was not immediately signed.

The Giants currently have one open spot on their practice squad and two open spots on their 53-man roster.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh gives injury updates on DL Aaron Crawford, CB Kevon Seymour

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh gave injury updates on both defensive lineman Crawford and cornerback Kevon Seymour

The Baltimore Ravens wrapped up another perfect preseason on Saturday night, defeating the Washington Commanders by the final score of 17-15. The victory marked their 23rd exhibition win in a row, adding onto their NFL record that they picked up last year.

While the win was impressive, Baltimore didn’t get out of the game fully unscathed. Both defensive lineman Aaron Crawford and cornerback Kevon Seymour left the game early, and after the contest head coach John Harbaugh provided an injury update on both players, saying that Crawford’s could be serious while he doesn’t believe Seymour’s is serious.

Both Crawford and Seymour have been fighting for roster spots over the course of the 2022 offseason in very deep positional rooms. It’s unclear what both injuries are at the moment, but it’s likely more information will become known as it becomes available.
