Giants waive RB Deon Jackson, OL Joshua Miles

The New York Giants have waived RB Deon Jackson and OL Joshua Miles with three players eligible to return from IR this week.

On Monday, the New York Giants waived running back Deon Jackson and offensive lineman Joshua Miles, leaving them with 51 players on the 53-man roster.

Jackson appeared in one game for the Giants after being claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Browns on October 24. He gained two yards on a single carry in Week 9.

Miles was signed off of the Atlanta Falcons practice squad on October 17 but was inactive for each game he was with the team.

Running backs Gary Brightwell and Eric Gray and offensive lineman Matt Peart are all eligible to return from injured reserve (IR) this week and it’s likely those two open roster spots will be filled by a pair of the three.

Meanwhile, kicker Randy Bullock and tight end Tyree Jackson have reverted back to the practice squad.

With no more elevations left for Bullock, the Giants will have to make a decision at kicker. Cade York remains on the active roster for the time being.

Giants place Joshua Ezeudu on IR, reunite with Tyre Phillips

The New York Giants have placed OL Joshua Ezeudu on IR and signed OL Tyre Phillips from the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad.

The New York Giants continued to tweak and augment their embattled offensive line on Tuesday signing Tyre Phillips from the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad and Joshua Miles from the practice squad of the Atlanta Falcons.

Both players were added to the active roster. To make room for the duo, the Giants placed Joshua Ezeudu (toe) on injured reserve. They already had an open spot on the 53-man roster after waiving Jalen Mayfield on Monday.

This is Phillips’ secede stint with the Giants. He spent all of last season and training camp this year with the team before being released. He was signed by the Eagles before the season.

Miles was a seventh-round selection of the Arizona Cardinals out of Morgan State in 2019 and played four seasons for the Cards, appearing in 17 games. He was signed to the Falcons’ practice squad before the season after being cut by them in training camp.

One move many anticipated, the adding of Justin Pugh to the active roster, has not occurred as of yet. As a practice squad player, he can be signed by any team to their active roster.

Finally, after clearing waivers, Mayfield was added back to the team’s practice squad, filling the spot vacated when the Carolina Panthers signed defensive back Alex Smith.

Report: Cardinals shopped pair of O-linemen; Justin Pugh discussed

The Cardinals reportedly were shopping Max Garcia and Joshua Miles. Justin Pugh’s name came up in talks.

The Arizona Cardinals have apparently been busy trying to work out some trades to make building their final roster a little easier. According to SI.com’s Albert Breer, they were shopping multiple offensive linemen.

The names that have come up are veteran guard Max Garcia, second-year tackle Joshua Miles and starting left guard Justin Pugh.

The surprising name on here is Pugh, but Breer clarified. Pugh’s name came up in trade talks. It doesn’t appear that it was initiated by the Cardinals.

The Cardinals don’t have a ton of space under the salary cap and Pugh is a solid starter.

Dealing Miles would be similar to what the Cardinals did last year when they traded Korey Cunningham. With third-round draft pick Josh Jones, the Cardinals probably see Miles as a luxury, or as a young asset.

Moving Garcia would free up more money, as he is due $910,000 with $450,000 of it guaranteed.

He is projected to be their main interior backup, but is they are willing to move him, it means they trust Justin Murray and perhaps recently signed Koda Martin.

We will see if a deal actually gets done over the weekend.

5 2019 Cardinals rookies whose 2020 roles probably won’t change

While they might develop, the situations ahead of them probably will limit their role next season.

Several of the Arizona Cardinals’ rookies in 2019 should have bigger roles in 2020. Others aren’t likely to. Here are the rookies whose roles likely won’t increase much in their second season.

S Deionte Thompson

Joe Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

Thompson split time on the field with fellow rookie Jalen Thompson after D.J. Swearinger was cut. However, his playing time disappeared with the emergence of Jalen. With Budda Baker already a Pro Bowler and with the emergence of Jalen and the possibility of the team adding a veteran at the position, Deionte probably won’t be more than a special teamer in 2020 unless there is an injury or he makes huge strides.
