The New York Giants made a roster move by cutting tight end/fullback Jakob Johnson to create space for linebacker Ty Summers, who was promoted from the practice squad. This decision was crucial for Summers to continue playing on special teams after being elevated multiple times without waiver protection.
Summers, previously a seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers, has shown his value on special teams since joining the Giants. Despite his tumultuous journey through various teams, including the Jaguars and Saints, he remains a key contributor.
Johnson is likely to be re-signed to the Giants' practice squad, continuing the team's pattern of roster adjustments as they navigate their player availability.
