The New York Giants announced Monday that they’ve placed WR Darius Powe on injured reserve and waived DT Khyri Thornton.
- The Giants also released LB Trevor Bates from their practice squad.
Thornton, 28, is a former third-round pick of the Packers back in 2014. However, despite his draft status, Thornton lasted just a little over a year in Green Bay before he was waived at the start of the 2015 season.
After a brief stint with the Patriots, the Lions later claimed him off of waivers during the 2015 season and he finished out the year in Detroit before returning on a two-year, $3.
