On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles decided they needed to open up a roster spot to sign Nick Gates from the practice squad to the active roster so that they could also have two temporary elevations to use on Parris Campbell and E.J. Jenkins. In order to open that spot for Gates, the team waived 2021 seventh-round draft pick Patrick Johnson.
On Tuesday, Johnson was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants. The Giants were sixth overall in the claiming order, which mirrors the previous NFL Draft order for the first three weeks of the season.
