Giants Add Hewitt and McAtamney to 53-Man Roster, Elevate Humphrey and Barnes

The moves fill two open roster spots, preserving depth without requiring corresponding cuts.

Overview

New York signed linebacker Neville Hewitt and kicker Jude McAtamney from the practice squad, bringing the active roster from 51 to 53 players.
Wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and linebacker Zaire Barnes were elevated from the practice squad for Thursday Night Football against the Eagles.
The transactions address shortages at linebacker and receiver with Micah McFadden out and Swayze Bozeman and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles sidelined, plus injuries to Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton.
Hewitt had reached his elevation limit and arrives with starting experience for the Dolphins, Jets and Texans.
With Graham Gano on injured reserve due to a groin injury, McAtamney continues as the kicker for a third straight week and has gone 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points, with no attempts beyond 40 yards.
