Giants roster moves: DT Montori Huges signed

Defensive tackle Montori Hughes was one of the surprising cuts as the New York Giants pared their roster down from 75 to 53 at the end of the pre-season.

His agent made it known that he was re-signed Tuesday.

The move isn't a surprising one.

The Giants seemed to like Hughes, and he provides a much-needed backup for the massive Damon Harrison and John Hankins. Starting tackles John Hankins and Damon Harrison both played nearly 60 snaps against the Dallas Cowboys with waiver-wire acquisition Robert Thomas inactive due to illness.
