The most frenzied part of this weekend for the Giants wasn’t getting their roster down to 53 names. It will be getting it back up to 69.
A majority of the players who were waived or cut on Saturday will be eligible for roles on the team’s 16-man practice squad, which will include six spots for veterans regardless of their tenure in the league. Many of those who received bad news on Saturday will be welcomed back by the time those practice squad rosters are set at 2 p.
