Roster moves: #Giants re-signed C/G Jonotthan Harrison to their practice squad and also added OT Foster Sarell (one day after OT Jackson Barton was stolen by Raiders). Giants cut RB Dexter Williams to make room
Sarell was a big-time high school OT, but he suffered quite a bit of injuries at Stanford.
I could be wrong, but that might've been filled by Matt Skura
Foster Sarell went from nation’s No. 1 offensive tackle to marginal NFL Draft prospect. - ( New Window )

we have an open roster spot on the 53 after putting Gates on IR?

It appears you are right.
Interesting. Did the Ravens cut him or did we sign him off their PS?

I believe you have to add him to your 53 if you raid someone’s PS. It can’t be a lateral move.

The former. We signed Sarell to the PS so he was a free agent.
Grade: 75
Summary: Fourth year junior from Graham, Washington. A two-year starter that earned Honorable Mention All-Pac 12 honors in 2019 after missing most of 2018 with a knee injury. Sarell only started 17 games over his career but possesses an NFL body and plays with very quick, active feet. He was the emotional leader of the Stanford offensive line and is clearly a try-hard player that will get the most out of himself. There are multiple technique shortcomings but they all stem from his over-aggression, which will cause him to overset and reach. If he can learn to be more patient and allow his ability to take over, Sarell has starter potential down the road. The athletic ability, pop, and desire are all there. He simply needs time and good coaching.
*A few guys I know have an undrafted grade on Sarell, and that is fine. He doesn’t have the lower body juice and athleticism that some want. I think he makes up for it enough with is tenacity, hustle, and size. He plays big and violent. I’m not sure if NYG really wants to use a draft resource on another tackle. If they do, unless they get major value at #11 (who might move to OG anyway), I think it is late. And I see Sarell being a guy you can get late and stash on the practice squad for a year.
Agreed and he knows the blocking scheme well.

HARRison is a lot better than Billy Price.

For sure.
Sounds like just the kind of guy that we should be putting on the Practice squad

Yep, that's how it works, otherwise teams would be raiding
Practice Squads left & right.
