The Giants have announced roster moves to arrive at the 2017 53-man roster:


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Veterans Josh Johnson, Mike Nugent and Will Tye were released, and linebacker Mark Herzlich was placed on injured reserve, as the Giants today removed 27 players from their roster to reach the NFL regular-season limit of 53.

Also let go were running back Shaun Draughn and defensive end Devin Taylor, and the team’s 2017 sixth-round draft choice, tackle Adam Bisnowaty.

The Giants also acquired cornerback Ross Cockrell in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional choice in the 2018 NFL Draft.
