Overview

  • The Giants placed 2022 No. 7 pick Evan Neal on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury after being active for one game without a snap this season.
  • New York signed kicker Younghoe Koo to the active roster after he went 2-for-2 on short field goals and hit two extra points while replacing Graham Gano, who is on IR with a herniated cervical disc.
  • The club elevated defensive tackle Elijah Chatman and wide receiver/special teamer Dalen Cambre from the practice squad for the game against the Packers.
  • Chatman, an undrafted SMU product, played all 17 games with three starts last season, while Cambre earned 2024 first-team All-America recognition for special teams at Louisiana.
  • Defensive lineman Elijah Garcia left the Giants’ practice squad for the Falcons, who signed him after he appeared in four games for New York this season.
