Overview
- The New York Giants signed Malik Harrison from their practice squad to the 53‑man roster on Tuesday after he used the maximum three temporary elevations.
- The promotion follows Harrison appearing in four of the Giants' first five regular‑season games while working through a recent injury over the prior two weeks.
- The Giants valued Harrison primarily for special teams where he has extensive experience and for inside‑linebacker depth behind Tremaine Edmunds and Reese.
- Harrison was a third‑round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020, averaged about 76.9 percent of special‑teams snaps in his first five seasons there, and spent 2025 under a two‑year, $10 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- The roster move removes the team’s ability to elevate him temporarily and signals the Giants will rely on him for short‑term depth and special‑teams snaps while his availability is monitored.
