Giants’ Timmy Horne suffered torn Achilles vs. Jets

New York Giants DT Timmy Horne suffered a torn Achilles against the New York Jets and is likely out for the season.

The New York Giants began purging their roster on Sunday, releasing 10 players 48 hours ahead of the league deadline to pare down rosters from 90 to 53 players.

Head coach Brian Daboll announced that defensive lineman Timmy Horne suffered a torn Achilles on Saturday night. Horne was injured on the first play from scrimmage in Saturday night’s 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets.

Horne was a backup along the line behind Rakeem Nunez-Roches.

Horne, 26, was an undrafted free agent out of Kansas State back in 2022 by the Atlanta Falcons.

The Giants signed Horne off the Falcons’ practice squad last December.

Giants-Jets preseason Week 3: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants lost their Week 3 preseason game against the Jets. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants closed out the 2024 preseason with a 10-6 loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night in East Rutherford.

It was a game that highlighted two major areas of concern for the Giants, both of which are continuing trends: A staggering lack of depth and a seemingly endless flow of injuries.

The Giants’ offensive line, which saw center John Michael Schmitz and right tackle Evan Neal start, surrendered eight sacks and gave quarterback Tommy DeVito little time.

Meanwhile, upwards of 10 different players suffered an injury on Saturday night, including both Schmitz and Neals, as well as cornerback Darnay Holmes.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 3 preseason loss.

Offensive snaps: 67
Defensive snaps: 68
Special teams snaps: 24

The Giants used far fewer players on Saturday night than they had over the first two preseason games, giving five players 100 percent of the total snaps. Of those players, rookie safety Alex Johnson likely did the most to help himself.

Defensive tackle Timmy Horne was in line to see more action on Saturday as well but, unfortunately, he left the game on a cart after just a single play.

Cornerback Darnay Holmes also appears to be fighting for his life, receiving 78 percent of the snaps in a meaningless game.

Giants sign Timmy Horne, place Randy Bullock on IR

The New York Giants have signed DT Timmy Horne off of the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad and placed kicker Randy Bullock on IR.

New York Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence has been hampered by a hamstring injury in recent weeks and his status for a Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles is very much up in the air.

After missing practice on Wednesday, the Giants decided to find reinforcements behind Lawrence.

The Giants have signed defensive tackle Timmy Horne off of the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad.

The 26-year-old Horne originally signed with the Falcons as a free agent following the 2022 NFL draft. He made their 53-man roster out of training camp and appeared in all 17 games with five starts as a rookie, recording 27 tackles (13 solo), one QB hit and one pass defensed.

This season, Horne has spent his time on the practice squad but was elevated for three games, recording four tackles and one pass defensed.

The 6-foot-4, 323-pound Horne played his college ball at Charlotte before transferring to Kansas State in 2021.

In a corresponding roster move, the Giants have placed kicker Randy Bullock (hamstring) on season-ending injured reserve (IR). Cade York will handle the kicking duties in Week 16 and beyond.

Giants poach DL Timmy Horne off Falcons’ practice squad

The Giants have signed defensive lineman Timmy Horne off the Falcons’ practice squad

The Atlanta Falcons have now lost two practice squad players to the New York Giants this season. Defensive lineman Timmy Horne was signed by the Giants on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reported.

Horne was a key member of Atlanta’s defense last season, appearing in all 17 games. However, Horne didn’t make the roster in 2023 due to the team’s many free-agent additions, including Calais Campbell and David Onyemata.

The Giants also poached offensive tackle Josh Miles off Atlanta’s practice squad earlier this season. Horne’s departure leaves the Falcons with one opening on their 16-man practice squad. Expect the team to make a move before this weekend’s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Falcons announce practice squad elevations for Week 3

The Falcons have elevated two players from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Lions

On Saturday, the Atlanta Falcons announced two practice squad elevations for their Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Offensive lineman Tyler Vrabel and defensive tackle Timmy Horne have been elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday’s game.

Horne was one of the team’s most surprising cuts at the 53-man deadline and Vrabel had a pretty decent camp. It’s not surprising to see either player elevated.

The Falcon are three-point underdogs but the Lions have some significant injuries along their offensive line and in the secondary. Check out Atlanta’s updated 53-man roster by jersey number and depth chart heading into Week 3.

5 recently cut players the Jaguars should consider adding

The Jaguars won’t pick through the waiver wire like previous years, but these five players could still catch their eye.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ initial 53-man roster was set Tuesday, but there are also more than 1,000 new free agents for the team to parse through.

In previous seasons, the Jaguars have picked through the waiver wire to snag new talent. This year, the team doesn’t have many holes to fill.

It seems highly unlikely that Jacksonville would consider adding any receivers or running backs, and there are really only a few spots where a newcomer could have much of a chance at earning a place. And even if the Jaguars do like a player, they’re buried in the waiver wire order.

Still, Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke’s job is never really over and these five players who just hit the market could catch his eye:
