The New York Giants returned to practice on Tuesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Before taking their holiday break, head coach Brian Daboll spoke with reporters yesterday and attempted to look ahead as best he could.

“No. He’s not going to go today. It’s early in the week,” he said of linebacker Micah McFadden.

“I’ll just give you guys that aren’t, right now. So, (Tyrone) Tracy (Jr.), he won’t practice. Again, it’s Tuesday, so it’s a little different. (Malik) Nabers, John Michael (Schmitz Jr.), (Greg) Stroman (Jr.), (Raheem) Layne, (Cory) Durden, McFadden and Dru Phillips.”

Like the players, all of the front office staff had Wednesday off but Daboll did say quarterback Drew Lock is expected to start.

“I think Drew will be ok,” he said.

Giants place Tre Hawkins on IR, sign four to practice squad

The New York Giants have placed CB Tre Hawkins on injured reserve, signed four to the practice squad, and made several other transactions.

As anticipated, the New York Giants made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday after suffering a glut of injuries in Sunday’s 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Cornerback Tre Hawkins, who had a breakout performance in Week 14, was placed on injured reserve (IR) with a fractured lumbar spine. Although the injury will end his season, it does not require surgery.

The Giants also placed center Jimmy Morrissey on practice squad IR.

With Hawkins on IR, cornerback Greg Stroman, who was elevated against the Saints, was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

Finally, to fill out the reserve unit, the Giants added four players to the practice squad—two veteran signings and two standard signings.

Quarterback Tim Boyle, as expected, was re-signed. Also added were defensive lineman Ross Blacklock, and cornerbacks Ekow Boye-Doe and Azizi Hearn.

Blacklock was originally a second-round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2020 NFL draft. However, he quickly became a journeyman, making stops with the Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans.

In 44 career games, the 26-year-old Blacklock has recorded 40 tackles (27 solo, five for a loss), one forced fumble, two passes defensed, nine QB hits, and 3.0 sacks.

Boye-Doe and Hearn have little to no regular season experience.

Giants place D.J. Davidson on IR in flurry of roster moves

The New York Giants made a flurry of roster moves on Saturday, including to placement of DL D.J. Davidson on injured reserve (IR).

The New York Giants made a flurry of roster moves on Saturday afternoon before a Week 14 game against the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium.

Defensive tackle D.J. Davidson (shoulder) being placed on injured reserve (IR) was the most notable. He had been listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game.

In 12 games this season, Davidson has recorded 23 tackles (12 solo, one for a loss), two fumble recoveries, two QB hits, and 2.0 sacks.

The Giants also waived quarterback Tim Boyle, leaving them with just Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito this week. He is likely to sign back to their practice squad.

In corresponding roster moves, New York signed defensive linemen Elijah Garcia and Casey Rogers from their practice squad to the active roster.

Finally, the team elevated offensive lineman Tyre Phillips and cornerback Greg Stroman from the reserve unit. It’s the first elevation for Phillips and the third for Stroman, who has none remaining.

If the Giants want to use Stroman again, he’ll have to be signed to the 53-man roster.

Giants sign Tomon Fox to active roster, place Armon Watts on IR

The New York Giants have made several roster moves, including the addition of LB Tomon Fox to their active roster.

The New York Giants made several roster moves ahead of their Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, including the addition of linebacker Tomon Fox to their 53-man roster.

Fox was waived last Saturday, re-signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, and then added to the active roster on Wednesday. He had no elevations remaining, so the Giants could only use him by returning him to the main roster.

In five games this season, Fox has recorded seven tackles (four solo, one for a loss), two QB hits, and one sack.

In a corresponding roster move, the Giants placed defensive tackle Armon Watts on injured reserve (IR) with a shoulder issue. He is likely done for the season.

Finally, the Giants elevated offensive tackle Joshua Miles and cornerback Greg Stroman from their practice squad.

For both Miles and Stroman, this is their first standard elevation. They each have two remaining.

Giants sign CB Greg Stroman to practice squad, release three

The New York Giants signed two players to their practice squad on Tuesday and released three, one with an injury settlement.

The New York Giants made several changes to their practice squad on Tuesday, including the signing of return specialist Kearis Jackson — a move that had been reported a day earlier.

In addition to Jackson, the Giants also signed cornerback Greg Stroman to their reserve unit.

The 28-year-old Stroman was originally a seventh-round pick of the Washington Commanders in the 2018 NFL draft. After three years in D.C., Stroman split time between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams in 2021 before joining the Chicago Bears, where he’s spent the past two seasons.

In 29 career games (five starts), the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Stroman has recorded 65 tackles (47 solo, three for a loss), two QB hits, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, six passes defensed, and three interceptions.

Stroman also has limited special teams experience, returning 10 punts for 25 yards and six kickoffs for 110 yards.

In order to clear room for Jackson and Stroman, the Giants terminated the practice squad contracts of safety Alex Johnson and tight end Joel Wilson.

The team also announced that tight end Lawrence Cager was terminated from the practice squad with an injury settlement.
