Armon Watts was promoted to the active roster this week, taking the game day uniform from defensive lineman Jordon Riley. This move comes as the Giants look to bolster their defensive line amid injury challenges.

Armon Watts was signed to the Giants' practice squad after being previously waived to make room for his promotion to the 53-man roster. A six-year pro, Watts has experience playing for the Vikings, Bears, Steelers, and Patriots. He has appeared in 72 career games with 22 starts, accumulating 140 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 18 quarterback hits, and 8.5 sacks. His addition is seen as a move to bolster the Giants' defensive line depth.

Armon Watts has landed on injured reserve, but he is designated to return, indicating the team is hopeful for his return later in the season.
