*The Giants today made 12 transactions to get under the roster limit of 75 players that all teams needed to reach by 4 p.m. today.
Only two of the players have NFL regular-season experience: safety Cooper Taylor and tackle Byron Stingily. Taylor, who was waived, was the Giants’ 2013 fifth-round draft choice who played in 16 games, including six last season. Stingily, who was placed on injured reserve with a concussion, played in 20 games with nine starts for Tennessee and Pittsburgh from 2012-15.
Third-year defensive back Bennett Jackson, a 2014 sixth-round draft choice who missed each of the last two years after undergoing knee surgery, was waived.
The Giants also released eight rookie and first-year free agents: running back Marshaun Coprich; wide receivers K.J. Maye and Kadron Boone; cornerback Joe Powell; offensive lineman Shane McDermott; defensive tackles Davon Coleman and Greg Milhouse; and defensive end Mike Rose.
Tight end Ryan Malleck, another rookie free agent, was waived/injured with a burner. He is the second tight end in as many days to be waived/injured, joining Matt LaCosse (knee).
Milhouse?

Off the top of my head we have Snacks Hank and Bromley....?
Milhouse?
LOL, nvm
I guess it's Milhouse.
Well, if they keep four (which they probably will), take your pick of Cudjo, Hughes, Nix, or Coleman.
Who is our 4th DT?
Millhouse
Oh, Millhouse was cut.
Who is our 4th DT.
Millhouse.
Lmao.
There's one more preseason game.
September 3: Prior to 4:00PM, clubs must reduce rosters to a maximum of 53 players.
September 4: Clubs may establish a Practice Squad of 10 players.
Milhouse looked really good in camp and in preseason ...could this be a sneak on to the practice squad after final cuts...ala Tye last year?
I would hope to see Hughes backing up Harrison and either Nix or Bromley backing up Hankins.
I'm a Knighton guy. However, is he still a viable player or toastville?
They couldn't have liked him that much. They drafted Jay Bromley with Nix still on the board.
Quote:
Giants apparently liked Nix in the draft. The Texans traded up in the third round to get him IIRC, and then gave up on him after only a year. Their coach called him out for his lack of effort. But he had injuries, and has apparently lost weight. It could be he knows that it's now or never.

Maybe they just liked Bromley more.
