The New York Giants signed veteran linebacker Jaylon Smith to their practice squad, the team announced on Friday.
Smith was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft with the No. 34 overall pick. He missed his first pro season due to an injury that he suffered in the Fiesta Bowl when he was playing for Notre Dame.
From 2017-21, Smith played in 68 regular-season games with 56 starts and he started two postseason matchups.
The Cowboys released the 26-year-old Smith on Oct.
