As the preseason wraps up on Sunday evening, the New York Giants must reduce their roster from 90 to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. The team has already made significant cuts, releasing 13 players, but 24 more remain to be trimmed.

Practice Squad Offers Opportunity.

Each NFL team can maintain a 17-player practice squad, which includes one spot for the International Player Pathway Program. These players provide depth and can be promoted to the active roster when needed.

Waiver Wire Activity Expected.

Even after the Giants make their final cuts, the work isn’t over. Within 24 hours of final cuts, players on waivers will be claimed, and the Giants, holding the sixth waiver priority, are expected to be active.

Current Roster Movement.

The Giants have already released several players, including:

• RB Joshua Kelley
• RB Lorenzo Lingard
• WR John Jiles
• WR Ayir Asante
• OL Marcus McKethan
• DL Kyler Baugh
• LB Trey Kiser
• CB Breon Borders
• CB Christian Holmes
• S Clayton Isbell
• DB Jonathan Sutherland
• OL Matt Nelson
• DT Timmy Horne

These moves are just the beginning as the team finalizes its roster. Some players who make the initial 53-man roster may still be at risk if the Giants claim players off the waiver wire.

The coming days will be critical as the Giants navigate these roster decisions, aiming to build a team ready to compete in the regular season. Fans should stay tuned as the final roster takes shape, knowing that the moves made now will have a lasting impact on the season ahead.

The New York Giants continue to address their safety depth. After successfully working out and signing Raheem Layne, the team has now added Jonathan Sutherland to their roster. Sutherland, a former Penn State safety who was previously with the Seahawks, is joining the Giants after his agent, Marty Magid, confirmed the signing on Instagram.

Currently, Jason Pinnock, Dane Belton, Tyler Nubin, and Alex Johnson are the only healthy safeties, while Gervarrius Owens, Elijah Riley, and Jalen Mills remain sidelined.

The addition of Sutherland brings further depth to the Giants’ secondary, which has been dealing with a string of injuries throughout the offseason.

Jason Pinnock, Dane Belton, Tyler Nubin, and Alex Johnson are the only healthy options, while Gervarrius Owens, Elijah Riley, and Jalen Mills remain sidelined.

Additionally, the Giants also worked out former Penn State safety Jonathan Sutherland, who previously played for the Seahawks. It’s unclear if an offer was made.
