EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today reached the NFL’s 53-man regular-season roster limit with 22 transactions that included the customary surprises both in who departed and who stayed.
The contracts of six veterans were terminated by the Giants. The list included fullback Henry Hynoski, who spent the previous four seasons with the team; linebacker Jameel McClain, who led the team in tackles last season; and wide receiver James Jones, who joined the Giants at the beginning of training camp and led the team with 15 receptions in their four preseason games.
The other players were cornerback Chykie Brown, safety Jeromy Miles, and linebacker Ashlee Palmer.
