The New York Giants have recently made several roster moves, including signing cornerback Alex Cook and defensive lineman Casey Rogers to their practice squad. Cook, who initially joined the Giants as an undrafted free agent, had a brief stint with the Carolina Panthers before returning to the Giants after being released. Rogers, on the other hand, was cut from the active roster but could return to the practice squad after clearing waivers. The Giants have also activated inside linebacker Dyonte Johnson from injured reserve, providing some relief to a position impacted by injuries, including Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden.
In addition to these moves, the team has signed offensive tackle Ricky Lee to their practice squad. Lee previously played for the Carolina Panthers and was with the Minnesota Vikings before joining the Giants. Meanwhile, former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, now with the Minnesota Vikings, has shown appreciation for his former offensive linemen by gifting them expensive holiday gifts. This gesture highlights the bond formed during his time with the Giants despite the struggles of the season.
Furthermore, wide receiver Darius Slayton has been recognized as the Week 16 NFLPA Community MVP for his charitable efforts, contributing significant funds to help families in need. This recognition underscores the positive impact players can have off the field, even during challenging seasons. The Giants are preparing for their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, with hopes of improving their dismal record.
