Guard Eric Herman and cornerback Jayron Hosley were placed on the reserve/suspended list. Herman had previously been suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances. Hosley is beginning his previously-announced four-game ban for violating the league’s policy on substances of abuse. Both players are eligible to return to the Giants’ active roster on Friday, September 26, following the previous night’s game in Washington.
Finally, linebacker Jon Beason passed his physical. He is on the 53-man roster and is eligible to practice and play. Beason has been sidelined since suffering a foot injury in an offseason practice on June 12.
The current 53-man roster, which, of course, is subject to change at any time:
Offense (25)
QB (2): Eli Manning, Ryan Nassib
RB (3): Rashad Jennings, Peyton Hillis, Andre Williams
FB (1): Henry Hynoski
WR (6): Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle, Jerrel Jernigan, Odell Beckham Jr., Preston Parker, Corey Washington
TE (3): Larry Donnell, Daniel Fells, Adrien Robinson
OL (10): Will Beatty, Geoff Schwartz, J.D. Walton, Brandon Mosley, Justin Pugh, John Jerry, Weston Richburg, Charles Brown, James Brewer, Dallas Reynolds
Defense (25)
DL (10): Mathias Kiwanuka, Jason Pierre-Paul, Cullen Jenkins, Johnathan Hankins, Robert Ayers Jr., Mike Patterson, Markus Kuhn, Damontre Moore, Jay Bromley, Kerry Wynn
LB (6): Jon Beason, Jameel McClain, Jacquian Williams, Devon Kennard, Spencer Paysinger, Mark Herzlich
DB (9): Prince Amukamara, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Antrel Rolle, Stevie Brown, Walter Thurmond III, Trumaine McBride, Quintin Demps, Nat Berhe, Zack Bowman
Special Teams (3)
Kicker: Josh Brown
Punter: Steve Weatherford
Snapper: Zak DeOssie
Brown, Brewer and Reynolds make the final 53? We should all hope and pray that neither Beatty nor Pugh get hurt because Brown will get Eli killed, Brewer can barely play OT and Reynolds gets -0- push on running plays.
Yikes!!!
Has a mosquito bite on his shoulder
What did they ever see in Brown in practice, except for one DE after another blowing by him?
53 Man Roster complete - ( New Window )
They both play like they have 2 left feet
They'll stash one or two on the practice squad, and worst case scenario, they can always find one on his couch, like they did with Hillis.
Judging by how quickly our DBs have dropped like flies in the past, I don't begrudge them for carrying that many in a passing league.

Most likely scenario

Just doesn't make any sense to me, but what do I know?

Dude, you misunderstand me. I'd rather have 9 DL and 10 DBs.
For who? The roster is in good shape with him on board.
Anyone on BBI wanna tout the great f-ing depth of our offensive line?
Anyone?
I thought so.
I really have to wonder why Gaines was cut. It just doesn't make sense to me. Sure, the coaches see practice that we don't. However, isn't play during a game more important?
Otherwise it seems impossible that those 3 make the final 53 of any other team in the NFL.
Which means Reese and the FO must have actually thought that Brown AND Brewer were actually better. Ridiculous. I'm not saying Gaines is a world beater, but right now he is much better than Brown and Brewer.
At a absolute minimum, put Gaines on season ending IR, so we can keep him for next season. I assume he if clears waivers we can put him on the PS, but there is a real chance somebody will grab him.
If he's a definite to be back within say 6 weeks, then you might want to save the Temp IR exemption for someone more valuable to the team who 'might' go down in the first few weeks of the season. With 10 OL on the roster, Schwartz can always be inactive on a week by week basis.
Either way it's a crap shoot.
IIRC it was his man that hit Eli in the last game that caused Eli's injury and subsequent surgery.
IMO he didn't play well in 2013 and is useless in the running game.
I have no idea why you would think this. Since when do they ever talk much about the specifics of injuries.
Don't think so.
I guess he got hurt walking off the field or in the shower.
No, it doesn't. It's just like regular IR but the player can be brought back after week eight.

This. They came up with a bogus injury to try and put teams off from claiming him, so he will pass through waivers and get to the PS. And maybe he will. But it's a risk. There is a real dearth of OL talent in this league, and some teams like the Colts and Chiefs are even worse in that regard than the Giants. They also saw him play right to the end of the Pats game. So when did he get hurt?
This is another example of Coughlin's mindlessly stubborn bias in favor of veterans, in this case Brewer and the terrible Brown. You also have to wonder if it's Reese being biased in favor of his own draft picks and big FA signings. How many years do players like Brewer and Robinson get? One of the sportswriters tweeted that Reese was determined to give Robinson another year no matter what. And how can anyone justify keeping Brown over Gaines?
