EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Giants have waived third-year running back Andre Williams in reaching the 53-man roster limit.
The Giants also announced Saturday that placekicker Josh Brown was put on the NFL’s reserve-suspended list and tight end Will Johnson was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
The move with Williams was the most surprising. The fourth-round draft pick in 2014 led the team in rushing as a rookie with 721 yards and seven touchdowns. He was limited to 257 yards as the Giants used four running backs in 2015.
