They also placed edge defender Brian Burns on injured reserve with the torn ACL he suffered in Sunday\u2019s victory over the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">To fill those roster spots, the Giants signed two wide receivers off their practice squad. Added to the 53-man roster were Braxton Berrios and Charlie Jones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Berrios was out of practice squad elevations after being brought up for the first three games of the season. Berrios has returned two punts for an average of 6.0 yards, and five kickoffs for an average of 27.6 yards. He has played 22 snaps at wide receiver, but has yet to be targeted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Jones, 27, was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 1. A 2023 fourth-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals, he played in 33 games over three seasons for Cincinnati with eight receptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Like Berrios, Jones\u2019 primary contribution came as a returner for the Bengals. In his career, he has returned 50 punts for an average of 9.2 yards, and 47 kickoffs for an average of 27.3 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Giants bypassed signing veteran linebacker Malik Harrison, who is also out of practice squad elevations, to the 53-man roster. Perhaps that is an indication the Giants may not be done shuffling the roster before they face the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Giants also bypassed signing edge defender Trace Ford off the practice squad as a replacement for Burns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants made the previously-reported release of Odell Beckham Jr. official Tuesday afternoon.
