Isaiah Wilson’s tenure with the New York Giants has come to an end.

On Tuesday, the Giants officially announced that Wilson has been released from the practice squad in a series of transactions.

Even with all of the Giants’ offensive line struggles, Wilson was never able to earn a chance to start and show the team what he was capable of being.

Wilson was a former 2020 first rounder of the Tennessee Titans, but he was traded to the Miami Dolphins after he was seen as a malcontent who couldn’t follow rules. The same issues persisted in Miami and he was released in short order.

Following his release from the Giants, who knows if Wilson will get another shot in the NFL.

In a separate move, the Giants also waived tight end Chris Myarick, who had scored a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the season.

Myarick could pop back up on the Giants’ practice squad if he goes unclaimed.

Meanwhile, the Giants also placed offensive tackle Matt Peart, who was already on injured reserve, on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Finally, the Giants protected four practice squad players in Week 18. They were quarterback Brian Lewerke, linebacker Omari Cobb, defensive tackle David Moa and defensive back Natrell Jamerson.

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

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 continue to see an uptick in positive COVID-19 tests

The New York Giants continue to see positive COVID-19 tests come back and now they’re also dealing with players who have the flu.

The New York Giants continue add players — specifically defensive backs — to the Reserve/COVID-19 list as their game against the Dallas Cowboys nears.

Although the transactions have not yet been made official, safety J.R. Reed and practice squad cornerback Natrell Jamerson are headed there after testing positive on Thursday.

Earlier this week, the Giants had positive COVID-19 test results from wide receivers Kadarius Toney and John Ross, linebackers Oshane Ximines and Cam Brown and cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson and Aaron Robinson.

Safety Xavier McKinney was identified as a ‘high-risk’ close contact. In addition, safety Steven Parker missed Thursday’s practice with a non-COVID illness.

Head coach Joe Judge says the team is dealing with both COVID-19 and flu issues.

The Giants could be facing a talented Cowboys receiving unit that boasts Amari Cooper, CeeDee Dee Lamb and Michael Gallup with a depleted secondary. If none of these players listed can return by Sunday, the Giants will be going a group consisting of safeties Logan Ryan and Julian Love and cornerbacks James Bradberry, Keion Crossen and Jarren Williams.

“We’ll work everybody, it’s something we have to do at different positions,” head coach Joe Judge said. “Look, we’re always into contingency plans and emergency plans, so we’re going to continue to practice.”

Giants sign Woodrow Hamilton to practice squad, protect four

The New York Giants have made a few practice squad transactions and protected four ahead of a Week 15 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

[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 announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton to their practice squad. He had previously been released back in late October.

The 28-year-old Hamilton, who signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss in 2016, is now in his third stint with the Giants. After starting his career with the Pats, he landed with the New Orleans Saints (2017-2018) before having a brief cup of coffee with New York in 2018.

The 6-foot-3, 315-pound Hamilton also had stints with the Carolina Panthers (2019-2020) and Tennessee Titans (2021).

Hamilton won a title alongside current Giants head coach Joe Judge in 2017, each of whom were with the Patriots at the time.

Over his six-year NFL career, Hamilton has appeared in nine games (one start) and recorded six tackles (three solo) and one fumble recovery.

In order to clear space for Hamilton on the practice squad, the Giants terminated the contract of quarterback Clayton Thorson. He had been signed last week as emergency depth.

Finally, the Giants protected four practice squad players: wide receiver/return man Pharoh Cooper, defensive lineman David Moa and defensive backs Jarren Williams and Natrell Jamerson.

A former Wisconsin safety has a new NFL home

A former Wisconsin safety has a new NFL home

Former Wisconsin wide receiver, cornerback and safety Natrell Jamerson has a new NFL home, as he was recently signed by the New Orleans Saints.

Jamerson is back with the team that drafted him back in 2018, that after playing 21 total games in three years with three different teams.

The former Badger was most recently cut by the Panthers after spending much of the 2020 season on their practice squad.

Jamerson will now take his 21 career games, 13 total tackles, 11 solo tackles, 2 assists and one pass defended to New Orleans as he looks to make a late push for a roster spot.

The New Orleans Saints announced nine roster moves on Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know about who’s arriving and who was let go:

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

Don’t say the New Orleans Saints aren’t keeping themselves busy. The team announced nine roster moves on Wednesday, with five free agents signing on and four players being waived (the team previously put cornerback KeiVarae Russell on the COVID-19 reserve list, opening a roster spot). Here is everything you need to know:

Panthers release DT Woodrow Hamilton, DB Natrell Jamerson

According to team reporter Darin Gantt, defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton and defensive back Natrell Jamerson have been cut.

Friday night news dumps are back! Today the Carolina Panthers released two players who were a part of their practice squad for portions of the 2020 NFL season. According to team reporter Darin Gantt, defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton and defensive back Natrell Jamerson have been cut.

Hamilton was on the back end of the interior rotation of the defensive line and was called up from the practice squad a few times due to injuries and COVID-19. He played five games in 2020, totaling 57 defensive snaps, three tackles and one fumble recovery.

Jamerson recently signed a two-year contract extension, so this news comes as a little bit of a surprise in his case. Jamerson was a core practice squad player this past year and was frequently one of the four players who were protected from getting signed by other teams. He appeared in four games, mostly seeing the field on special teams (43 snaps).

Panthers promote DB Natrell Jamerson to active roster, sign him to 2-year deal

Panthers promote DB Natrell Jamerson to active roster, extend him on two-year deal.

The Carolina Panthers have promoted defensive back Natrell Jamerson from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of this weekend’s game with the Denver Broncos. Wide receiver Amara Darboh has been signed to take his place on the practice squad.

In addition to that short-term promotion, the team has signed Jamerson to a two-year contract extension, per the Charlotte Observer.

Jamerson has been one of the team’s key practice squad players this year, often being named among the four who are protected from being signed by other teams.

Since first joining the Panthers in 2019, he’s appeared in eight games, almost exclusively putting in time on special teams.

Panthers rule out Christian McCaffrey, Donte Jackson for Week 12 vs. Vikings

The Panthers also placed wide receiver Ishmael Hyman on the practice squad injured reserve list.

The Carolina Panthers have made some announcements and roster moves ahead of tomorrow’s matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

First, running back Christian McCaffrey will not be traveling with the team. He was listed as questionable but it always seemed like a long shot that he would return this week. As expected, Mike Davis has been named the starting running back again.

Cornerback Donte Jackson has also been ruled out. No replacement has been named as of yet but last week rookies Troy Pride Jr. and Stantley Thomas-Oliver split his reps outside opposite Rasul Douglas.

Carolina also has elevated practice squad defensive back Natrell Jamerson to the active roster as a COVID-19 exemption. So far, he’s played in two games this year, putting in 12 snaps on special teams and one on defense. Unless there’s a couple of injuries to the DBs ahead of him on the depth chart, Jamerson will most likely rarely see the field in Minnesota.

The Panthers also placed wide receiver Ishmael Hyman on the practice squad injured reserve list.

Emergency kicker Taylor Bertolet was also re-signed to the practice squad.

Panthers make practice squad, roster changes ahead of Week 11 game

The Panthers have just announced a series of roster/practice squad moves ahead of tomorrow’s game with the Lions.

The Panthers have just announced a series of roster/practice squad moves ahead of tomorrow’s game with the Lions.

Here is a quick review of the team’s Saturday transactions.

LB Chris Orr signed to active roster

First, Carolina’s undrafted rookie linebacker Chris Orr has been signed to the active roster. This will be his second straight game on the official 53. He played 20 special teams snaps against the Buccaneers Week 10. Orr posted 15 sacks and 21 tackles for a loss during his time at Wisconsin.

LB/S Sean Chandler waived

In a corresponding move, the team waived former Giants linebacker Sean Chandler, who was picked up after Juston Burris suffered his rib injury back in Week 6. Instead of starting Chandler, the team looked to rookie Sam Franklin to take Burris’ place in the lineup. Chandler wound up not playing a single snap for the Panthers.

DB Natrell Jamerson activated (COVID-19)

DB Natrell Jamerson has also been activated from the practice squad. He has a COVID-19 designation so he won’t count against the roster. He’s appeared in 18 live games since since the Saints picked him in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL draft, all on special teams.

K Taylor Bertolet re-signed to practice squad

Former Texas A&M kicker Taylor Bertolet has been on and off the practice squad these last few weeks. He serves as an emergency kicker option for the team in the event that Joey Slye either gets injured or tests positive for COVID-19 and can’t be cleared in time to play.

LB Daniel Bituli signed to practice squad

Bituli has also been hovering around the edges of the practice squad for a couple weeks. This is the first time he’s been signed, though. He played his college ball at Tennessee and provides depth at linebacker/special teams following veteran Adarius Taylor being placed on injured reserve.

In related news, the team waived former Eagles wide receiver Shelton Gibson from the practice squad on Friday.
