Overview

• New York Jets announced the signing of rookie cornerback Korie Black to their practice squad on August 29.
• The Giants waived the seventh-round pick intending to re-sign him to their own practice squad, but he cleared waivers and opted for the Jets.
• Under NFL rules, clearing waivers made Black a free agent eligible to join any practice squad with an offer.
• Jets coaches and scouts observed Black closely during joint practices and a preseason meeting, and he logged only 12 preseason snaps per Pro Football Focus.
• Black becomes the first draft pick under Giants GM Joe Schoen not to appear in a game for the team, and the Giants subsequently added linebacker Zaire Barnes to their practice squad.
