Seahawks sign 3 players to roster to start 2022 training camp

The Seattle Seahawks have announced the signing of three players on Wednesday morning before the first training camp practice of 2022.

The Seattle Seahawks will be heading into the first practice of their 2022 training camp with three new players. On Wednesday morning, the team announced the signings of guard Keenan Forbes, guard Eric Wilson and tight end Jake Hausmann.

Forbes is a rookie guard out of Florida A&M who worked out for Seattle on Tuesday. Wilson, also a rookie guard, had a tryout on Tuesday at the VMAC as well. Finally, Hausmann – the lone veteran of the three – first signed with the Lions as an undrafted rookie last year before later joining the Giants’ practice squad.

The Seahawks are set to start their first practice of the summer at 1:30 p.m. PT with coach Pete Carroll addressing the media shortly after the public session wraps up.

Seahawks signing former Ohio State TE Jake Hausmann

The Seahawks are signing former Ohio State tight end Jake Hausmann, according to a report by Doug Kyed at Pro Football Focus.

The Seahawks are signing former Giants tight end Jake Hausmann, according to a report by Doug Kyed at Pro Football Focus.

Hausmann (6-foot-4, 255 pounds) played his last two years of college football at Ohio State. After going undrafted as a rookie, he signed with the Giants and was on and off their practice squad during the 2021 campaign. He did not appear in a game during the regular season.

Hausmann has an uphill battle ahead of him to make Seattle’s initial 53-man roster. Barring injury, Noah Fant and Will Dissly are guaranteed to get the top two spots on the depth chart at this position. That leaves Tyler Mabry, Colby Parkinson, undrafted rookie Cade Brewer and Hausmann competing for what may only be one or at most two more tight end spots.

The Seahawks still have room for a couple more players on the 90-man offseason roster, so expect another signing or two by tomorrow afternoon.

Giants waive TE Rysen John, three others

The New York Giants have waived four players, including tight ends Rysen John and Jake Hausmann.

In preparation for additional signings, which includes their 11-player draft class, the New York Giants did a little roster maneuvering on Tuesday.

The team officially announced that tight ends Rysen John and Jake Hausmann, linebacker Omari Cobb and offensive lineman Wes Martin have all been waived.

Martin, 25, was originally a fourth-round pick of the Washington Redskins in the 2019 NFL draft. He spent the 2021 season with the Giants, appearing in seven games with one start.

The 24-year-old Cobb signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted rookie out of Marshall in 2020. He spent more than a year with K.C. before signing with the Giants in September of last year. Cobb did not appear in a game for Big Blue.

John, 24, came to the Giants by way of Canada. A graduate of Simon Fraser, he was selected in the third round of the 2020 CFL draft. He also went unselected in the NFL draft that same year. In 2021, John signed with the Giants but did not make a regular season appearance.

The 24-year-old Hausmann initially signed with the Detroit Lions after going undrafted out of Ohio State in the 2021 NFL draft. However, he lasted just three months with the team before being waived. The Giants claimed him off waivers in August of last year but Hausmann didn’t see any action throughout the season.

The New York Giants have released DBs Sam Beal and Darqueze Dennard from their practice squad, and protected four others.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbx61yex5whq8aq player_id=none image=https://giantswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

For the second time this season, the New York Giants have released cornerback Sam Beal.

Beal, who had been re-signed to the practice squad as the result of the team’s COVID-19 issues, was released on Tuesday alongside fellow defensive back Darqueze Dennard.

Like Beal, Dennard was signed to help bolster the team’s depth amid a COVID-19 outbreak. He was elevated for a Week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and drew the brief ire of his teammates for failing to down a punt at the goal line.

Head coach Joe Judge later appeared to absolve Dennard of fault, saying he went out of bounds and therefor couldn’t be the first to touch the ball.

“In Darqueze’s defense a little bit, it’s been a handful of years since he’s played gunner. He’s done a good job. Did a good job for us (Sunday),” Judge told reporters. “He got a little fogged up on the rules — you cannot be the first toucher if you go out of bounds. The second he ran out of bounds in that situation, I was actually walking down the sideline yelling in his ear ‘Don’t touch it, don’t touch it, don’t touch it,’ because that’s an illegal touch penalty and inside the five it becomes a touchback anyway right there.”

With some available space on the practice squad, the Giants re-signed tight end Jake Hausmann.

Finally, the team also announced their practice squad protections for Week 17. They include wide receiver/return man Pharoh Cooper, defensive back Natrell Jamerson, defensive tackle David Moa and tight end Deon Yelder.

Giants protect Evan Boehm, three other practice squad players

The New York Giants have protected four practice squad players and terminated the contract of TE Jake Hausmann.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbx61yex5whq8aq player_id=none image=https://giantswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The New York Giants have announced their practice squad protections ahead of a Week 16 game with the Philadelphia Eagles and center Evan Boehm was among the four.

Signed by the Giants last week, the 28-year-old Boehm was originally a fourth-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in the 2016 NFL draft. He became a journeyman after that, spending time with the Los Angeles Rams (2018), Indianapolis Colts (2018), Miami Dolphins (2019, 2021), Buffalo Bills (2020), Jacksonville Jaguars (2020) and Detroit Lions (2021).

Boehm has appeared in 55 career games with 21 starts. He’s taken snaps at both left and right guard in addition to center.

This is Boehm’s first time being protected by the team.

In addition to Boehm, the Giants also protected wide receiver/return man Pharoh Cooper, wide receiver Alex Bachman and defensive lineman David Moa.

Moa has been a regular protection all year and even saw action in Week 15 as a COVID-19 replacement. Cooper, meanwhile, is the team’s starting return man and is a guaranteed elevation come Sunday.

Lastly, the Giants announced that they have terminated the practice squad contract of tight end Jake Hausmann.

Giants place Nate Ebner on IR, sign Chris Myarick from practice squad

The New York Giants have placed ST Nate Ebner on injured reserve and signed TE Chris Myarick from their practice squad.

The New York Giants have placed veteran defensive back and special teams ace, Nate Ebner, on injured reserve with a knee injury. He will miss at least three games before he’s eligible to return.

Meanwhile, with tight ends Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and Kaden Smith (knee) both ailing, the team decided to sign tight end Chris Myarick off of their practice squad.

Myarick has appeared in four games for the Giants this season, taking 21 offensive snaps. He has drawn one target, but has no receptions.

With a spot open on their practice squad, the Giants have re-signed tight end Jake Hausmann to the reserve unit nearly three weeks after terminating his contract. It’s the third time he’s been released and then re-signed this season.

The 24-year-old Hausmann was originally signed by the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Ohio State back in April. He was waived by the team on August 6 and claimed by the Giants a day later.

Hausmann was released as a part of final cuts but immediately signed to the Giants’ practice squad. He was the team’s highest-graded preseason rookie.

Finally, the Giants also signed tight end Deon Yelder to their practice squad.

Giants place Dante Pettis on IR, sign Dexter Williams to practice squad

The New York Giants have made a series of transactions, including the placement of WR Dante Pettis on injured reserve.

The New York Giants continued their seemingly endless roster shuffling on Friday, this time aided by a slew of false-positive COVID-19 tests.

Less than 48 hours after being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, running back Saquon Barkley and safety Xavier McKinney have been activated. Both were among the more than 10 Giants who tested false-positive.

Running back Gary Brightwell remains on Reserve/COVID-19.

Meanwhile, the Giants also placed wide receiver Dante Pettis on injured reserve with a shoulder issue. He will miss a minimum of three weeks before he is eligible to return.

The Giants also further tinkered with their practice squad, terminating the contract of tight end Jake Hausmann and signing running back Dexter Williams to replace him.

Williams, a sixth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 2019 NFL draft, was signed to the Giants’ practice squad after final cuts back in September. He was cut after just three weeks and had remained unsigned until Friday’s reunion.

Giants re-sign TE Jake Hausmann to practice squad

The New York Giants have re-signed tight end Jake Hausmann to their practice squad.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbx61yex5whq8aq player_id=none image=https://giantswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The New York Giants have re-signed tight end Jake Hausmann to their practice squad, almost one week to the day after his contract had been terminated.

The 24-year-old Hausmann was signed by the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Ohio State back in April. He was waived by the team on August 6 and claimed by the Giants a day later.

Hausmann was released as a part of final cuts but immediately signed to the Giants’ practice squad where he had remained until his brief release last week. He has yet to be elevated or appear in an NFL regular-season game.

Meanwhile, as part of a procedural move, the Giants also returned defensive lineman David Moa and linebacker Benardrick McKinney to their practice squad. Both players had been elevated for the team’s Week 7 game, active and saw some playing time.

Expect McKinney to be signed to the 53-man roster as early as this week.

Giants place Andrew Thomas, C.J. Board on injured reserve

The New York Giants have placed OT Andrew Thomas and WR C.J. Board on injured reserve and made a flurry of other roster moves.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbx61yex5whq8aq player_id=none image=https://giantswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The New York Giants will be without starting left tackle Andrew Thomas for at least three weeks after he was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday.

Thomas, who had already been dealing with a foot injury, got rolled up on during Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He left the game and was later diagnosed with an ankle injury on the opposite leg of his foot injury.

In addition to Thomas landing on IR, the Giants also placed starting kick returner C.J. Board on injured reserve after he suffered a fracture forearm in the same game.

Thomas and Board become the latest in a long, long line of Giants landing on IR or missing significant time due to injury.

Replacing Thomas and Board on the 53-man roster are wide receiver Dante Pettis and offensive lineman Korey Cunningham, each of whom were signed off the practice squad.

Both Pettis and Cunningham had been elevated last week and made their on-field regular season debut.

Meanwhile, the Giants terminated the practice squad contracts of tight end Jake Hausmann and guard Cole Banwart.

With several spots open on the practice squad as a result of the roster shuffle, the Giants also officially signed linebacker Benardrick McKinney, wide receiver Travis Toivonen and offensive tackle Derrick Kelly to the reserve unit.
