I waited until the conclusion of Thursday’s preseason game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots to finalize my official Giants’ 53-man roster projection. I figured some things would happen in the game that would impact construction of the roster, and they did.
Injuries and a promising performance by Kyle Lauletta changed some of the decisions I would have made prior to the final preseason game.
So, here’s my final prediction. By 4 p.m. ET on Saturday we will know how I did.
Offense (26)
Quarterbacks (3)
Starter: Eli Manning
Backups: Daniel Jones, Kyle Lauletta
Out: Alex Tanney
All along I have had the Giants keeping three quarterbacks, with the third being veteran Alex Tanney.
