Nick McCloud, a former cornerback for the New York Giants, has signed with the San Francisco 49ers practice squad after being released by the Giants for refusing a pay cut. McCloud had been a reliable player for the Giants, appearing in 38 games since 2022.

Additionally, the Giants have activated kicker Graham Gano from injured reserve after a hamstring injury and made several roster moves, including signing offensive lineman Bryan Hudson and terminating punter Matt Haack’s contract. Quarterback Daniel Jones remains the starter despite the team's struggles.
