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

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)

How many guys can go right from a rookie contract into Medicare?
--One of the TE needs to step up.
--Beckham needs to start contributing quickly when he gets healthy.
--DL need to show that they can actually get sacks.
--Either RBs stay surprisingly healthy, or they pick up a #4 rb with some talent on waivers. RB really is thin.
This all assumes #6, which is that Eli is a lot better than he looked in preseason.

Yup. That about sums it up.
