Overview

• After clearing waivers, Korie Black chose the Jets’ practice squad over a competing offer from the Giants.
• The seventh-round cornerback had made the Giants’ initial 53-man roster before a procedural cut intended to lead to a practice-squad return.
• New York’s AFC team filled a practice-squad slot that opened when Jarrick Bernard-Converse was claimed by the Browns.
• The Giants waived Black to create room for cornerback Rico Payton, who arrived after a waived/injured designation with the Saints.
• He is the first of GM Joe Schoen’s 31 draft picks to be cut as a rookie, with reporters pointing to joint practices as a key factor in the Jets’ interest.
