Overview
- New York officially added tight end Zach Davidson and rookie kicker Ben Sauls to the practice squad, the team confirmed.
- The Giants also held private workouts for linebacker Trace Ford, safeties Micah Abernathy and Tysheem Johnson, and cornerback Myles Purchase at their facility.
- Davidson, a 2021 fifth-round pick by the Vikings, has appeared in two NFL games with one reception for five yards and stands 6-foot-7 and 251 pounds.
- He showed unusual versatility by handling emergency punting duties in a preseason game with kicks of 62 and 42 yards, and he was the target of a punch from Buccaneers rookie Shilo Sanders that led to an ejection and subsequent waiver.
- The additions come within roughly a day of Brian Daboll’s dismissal, addressing tight end and kicking depth concerns highlighted by injuries, including Graham Gano’s return to injured reserve this season as reported by Heavy.
