He played six snaps last week against the Washington Commanders, with one tackle. Defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches is doubtful with a foot injury he apparently suffered in practice this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bozeman was elevated to give the Giants linebacker depth. Micah McFadden was placed on IR this week with a foot injury, with his place on the 53-man roster taken by wide receiver\/kick returner Xavier Gipson. Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles has already been ruled out due to a calf injury he aggravated in practice during the week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bozeman played in three games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024 after going undrafted out of Southern Miss. He played seven defensive snaps and 57 special teams snaps for the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Left tackle Andrew Thomas made the trip. Thomas, still recovering from a 2024 Lisfranc injury, is listed as doubtful to make his season debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants are elevating defensive tackle Elijah Garcia and linebacker Swayze Bozeman from the practice squad&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[25565,349,99],"class_list":["post-155515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-new-york-giants-roster","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
