The New York Giants have finalized most of their practice squad, bringing back familiar faces from training camp.

There’s one new addition to the mix—linebacker Ty Summers. Summers, who was recently cut by the Detroit Lions, brings a wealth of experience to the Giants’ practice squad, having played in 67 regular-season games with teams like the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars.

• Isaiah Hodgins
• Miles Boykin
• Ty Summers
• Lawrence Cager
• Jakob Johnson
• Joshua Miles
• Marcellus Johnson
• Tomon Fox
• K.J. Cloyd
• Dante Miller
• Casey Rogers
• Raheem Layne
• Alex Johnson
• Jimmy Morrissey
• Jude McAtamney

With two practice squad spots still open, the Giants have room to make additional moves. Safety Gervarrius Owens, recently waived, is a strong candidate to fill one of those vacancies.

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan thinks TE Lawrence Cager can have an “equal amount of production” as rookie Theo Johnson in the receiving game.

He also notes that, according to Head Coach Brian Daboll, Cager is having one of the best offseasons of any player on the roster.

This buzz around Cager suggests he’s not just a solid depth piece but a potential key contributor for the Giants.

With his impressive performances in practice and games, Cager is showing he’s ready to make a significant impact, potentially challenging others for key playing time.

With Darren Waller’s retirement, new opportunities have opened up for others to step in and shine.

Daniel Bellinger

Heading into this season, Bellinger is expected to be the top tight end for the Giants. However, an injury had limited him during minicamp, so it remains to be seen how this will impact his performance in training camp.

Last season Bellinger appeared in all 17 games catching 25 of 28 targets for 255 yards and no touchdowns. The offense as a whole struggled and everyone is looking for a bounce back season.

Bellinger has all the tools to become a top-tier, well-rounded tight end in the NFL. His prototypical size makes him a big target on the field.

Theo Johnson

Theo Johnson, the rookie tight end from Penn State, will start his first season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. The Giants announced this on Tuesday when rookies reported to training camp.

Drafted in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Johnson is expected to contribute to the offense. However, the team has not disclosed any details about his physical status or the reason for placing him on the PUP list.

Lawrence Cager

The Giants have re-signed Lawrence Cager, a five-year veteran who has been on and off the roster for the past two seasons. Since this is Cager’s second stint with the Giants, he should have a good grasp of the playbook and his role in the offense.

The opportunity is there for growth, and we have seen flashes of potential from Cager in the past. His familiarity with the team’s system gives him a solid foundation to build upon.

Chris Manhertz

Chris Manhertz has carved out a nine-year NFL career despite never playing college football. Despite his lack of a football background and being undersized at 235 pounds, Manhertz has established himself as a blocking tight end. As a receiver, he has been targeted just 40 times, making 26 catches.

Manhertz has made his reputation as a blocking tight end, I’m sure coaches will love that aspect of his game

Jack Stoll

Stoll was another free agent signing from the Eagles. He has appeared in 50 regular-season games, starting 26 of them as a blocking tight end. Over three seasons, Stoll has recorded 20 receptions across 1,343 offensive snaps.

His chances of making the Giants’ 53-man roster might depend on whether the team favors him over Manhertz. It’s difficult to envision the Giants retaining both players.

Tyree Jackson

Jackson, formerly the starting quarterback for the University of Buffalo, was once projected as a first-round pick in NFL.com’s mock drafts.

The transition from quarterback to tight end has been made before, but Jackson’s 2023 season was quiet. After being cut by the Eagles during final roster reductions in late August, the Giants quickly added him to their practice squad. Jackson appeared in Weeks 10 and 11 against the Cowboys and Commanders but did not record any stats.

Final thoughts

Overall, the New York Giants’ tight end group is in a state of flux, and they have brought in a few veterans to strengthen the position. There may be some camp battles for the final 53-man roster spots.
