Giants place Jason Pinnock on IR, sign two from practice squad

The New York Giants have placed safety Jason Pinnock on injured reserve (IR), signed two from the practice squad and elevated two others.

Having already been declared out for Sunday’s season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants placed safety Jason Pinnock on injured reserve (IR).

Pinnock, who had a strong season after replacing Julian Love, suffered a toe injury during a Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was spelled by Dane Belton, who promptly recorded three takeaways.

In 16 games this season, Pinnock recorded 85 tackles (59 solo, six for a loss), two forced fumbles, four QB hits, 2.0 sacks, six passes defensed, two interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.

With two spots available on the 53-man roster, the Giants also signed quarterback Jacob Eason and tight end Tyree Jackson from the practice squad.

Eason will provide additional backup at the quarterback spot with start Tyrod Taylor dealing with a back injury.

“Ty was on the injury report, so we figured we’d get another quarterback in here, see where he was in practice, and he’s done a good job,” head coach Brian Daboll said this week.

Finally, the Giants also elevated kicker Mason Crosby and offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste from the practice squad.

Giants elevate Randy Bullock, Tyree Jackson from practice squad

The New York Giants have elevated kicker Randy Bullock (again) and tight end Tyree Jackson from their practice squad.

The New York Giants have elevated two players from their practice squad ahead of a Week 11 game against the Washington Commanders — tight end Tyree Jackson and kicker Randy Bullock.

For Bullock, this is his third and final elevation. Beginning next week, the Giants must sign him to their active roster and cut Cade York, sign Bullock to the active roster and burn two spots on kickers or leave Bullock on the practice squad.

They could also cut Bullock off the practice squad, but that would call into question why they used a gameday roster spot on him for three consecutive weeks.

A final option is signing Bullock to the 53-man roster, waiving York and then signing him to the practice squad if he clears.

The fact that the Giants haven’t been able to settle this kicker conundrum for nearly a month is jarring.

Meanwhile, Jackson is being elevated for the second week in a row. He took 12 total snaps last Sunday in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys but did not register any statistics.

Finally, safety Bobby McCain has been added to the Giants’ injury report and is listed as questionable due to an illness. The team initially said he would not travel to Landover but he did end up making the trip a few hours later.

It remains to be seen if McCain will suit up against his former team on Sunday.

Giants activate Azeez Ojulari from IR, elevate 2 from practice squad

The New York Giants have activated LB Azeez Ojulari from IR and elevated two, including kicker Randy Bullock, from their practice squad.

The New York Giants officially activated linebacker Azeez Ojulari from injured reserve (IR) on Saturday. He is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys.

“Making his way back,” head coach Brian Daboll said when asked about Ojulari on Friday. “Yeah, making his way back.”

Ojulari has missed the last four games after suffering an ankle injury against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. He also missed time earlier this season due to a hamstring injury.

In limited action, Ojulari has recorded just two tackles this season. However, he vows to be “destructive” upon his return.

“I have to take these eight games I’ve got and take advantage of every opportunity to the fullest and max it out,” he said, via the New York Post. “Be destructive. Be who I am.”

Meanwhile, the Giants have opted against placing right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) on IR.

Finally, the Giants have elevated kicker Randy Bullock and tight end Tyree Jackson from their practice squad. For Bullock, it is his second consecutive activation.

“Go through it again today like we did last week and then make our decision,” Daboll said on Friday when asked who would kick in Week 10.

The Giants also carried two kickers on their game-day roster last week — Cade York on the 53-man roster and Bullock on a standard elevation. Despite that, neither attempted a field goal nor a point after attempt.

Giants shuffle practice squad after 15-player workout

The New York Giants made six practice squad transactions following a massive 15-player workout on Thursday.

The New York Giants made several changes to their practice squad on Thursday evening, officially adding six players while releasing two others.

Offensive tackle Tyre Phillips and cornerback Gemon Green had their practice squad contracts terminated, effectively giving the Giants six open spots.

Those spots were filled by the additions of running back Taiwan Jones, cornerback Kaleb Hayes, wide receiver Dennis Houston, tight end Tyree Jackson, guard Jalen Mayfield, and tackle Jaylon Thomas.

The 35-year-old Jones, a 2011 fourth-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders, provides the most NFL experience of the group.

Jones has appeared in 137 career games, playing primarily on special teams. He has a history of returning kickoffs and could be an intriguing potential option for Thomas McGaughey down the line.

Mayfield, a former third-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons, is also an interesting addition. He started all 16 games at left guard in 2021 but missed last season with a lower back injury.

The roster shuffle came after the Giants hosted 15 free agents for workouts in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Thursday.

The 15 players who worked out were Thomas, Jones, cornerbacks Kalon Barnes and D’Angelo Mandell, linebackers Milo Eifler, Aaron Patrick and Ulysees Gilbert, wide receivers T.J. Luther, Reggie Roberson, Josh Vann and Dezmon Patton, edge rusher Jeremiah Martin, quarterback Adrian Martinez, offensive lineman Lecitus Smith, and safety Mark Webb.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) August 26, 2023

An improving player who is still transitioning to the tight end position after spending years playing quarterback, Jackson is a terrific athlete with elite size, speed, and solid hands.

With Jackson being waived, Philadelphia could place him on the practice squad after he goes unclaimed over the next 24 hours.
