Why haven't the Giants elevated Davis Webb?

I know nothing of how these moves work, what's allowed and what isn't, so forgive me if it's something obvious
there's

both Jones and Taylor could conceivably be active. It's Tuesday
I see ILCC's point...what would stop a New England from poaching

Davis Webb from us unless there is a gentlemen's agreement among GMS that PS QB's are to be left alone?
They have not

Webb would have to agree to that. He's not going to start this week for NE so why would he give up the possibility of starting for the Giants this week with a staff and system he knows?
I wonder

if they've given any thought at all into signing Alex Bachman if Webb needs to play. They sure seemed to have good chemistry, but it doesn't seem feasible to sign Bachman and play him so quickly.

Because Webb stinks.

Because they are going to cut him

And give his spot to Kyle Lauletta.
What does "they haven't practiced yet"

have to do with anything? You do realize the "PRACTICE squad" practices don't you?
Maybe Green Bay should poach him.  
Blue21 : 10/4/2022 4:37 pm : link
That could really screw us. Doubt Webb would go though.

If Jones and Taylor cannot practice, then he will be elevated..maybe Friday.

That's not allowed. You can't sign players from your next opponent's practice squad.
Also

I'm sure the Giants and Webb have an agreement to give the Giants an opportunity to sign him if he gets an offer from another team. If not, they don't need to sign him to the roster. They can elevate him from the practice squad on Saturday.
I don't

think some of you guys understand. You can't sign someone off a PS without their consent.

Aside from that, don't assume both Jones and Taylor will be out.
Some people

like to have all the available information before making a decision. I know that sounds crazy...
I don't think op knows the practice squad rules

After what happened to Tua I'd be shocked if Taylor plays.
I think they're waiting for the rain to stop.

Does everybody have a passport ?

Especially Webb (as big a question mark as Jones is, with his ankle) ?

London is one of the few trips the NFL allows Practice Squad players to make. So yes, even P-Squadders have been part of the travel planning.
