New York Giants coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that the team was signing Landon Collins from their practice squad onto the active roster.
Collins, once an All-Pro safety for New York, rejoined the team in early October via the practice squad. The 28-year-old now serves as an inside linebacker and was elevated to the Giants' gameday roster three times, most recently last week in a 20-12 win over Washington.
After three elevations, the Giants had to sign Collins to the 53-man roster if they wanted to continue playing him.
"It's exciting because now you get to really contribute," Collins told reporters Thursday, per ESPN.
