The New York Giants will elevate quarterback Davis Webb and defensive tackle Jack Heflin from the practice squad to the game day roster for Sunday’s season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Those moves are likely an indication that the Giants plan to either rest players like quarterback Daniel Jones, running back Saquon Barkley, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and a few others entirely, or play them for only a handful of snaps.
Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post is reporting that Webb, a 2017 third-round pick by the Giants who has yet to throw an NFL pass, is expected to start.
