The Giants are signing veteran punter Cameron Johnston to their practice squad, Dan Duggan of TheAthletic.com reports.<\/p>\n
Johnston, who entered the NFL in 2017, was most recently with the Bills earlier this season.<\/p>\n
The Giants\u2019 regular punter, Jamie Gillan, is dealing with an undisclosed injury, per Duggan, which prompted a workout of several veteran punters.<\/p>\n
The Wednesday injury report will provide more insight into Gillan\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n
Johnston has remained a free agent since the Bills released him from injured reserve on Nov. 13. A lower-leg injury in Week 4 sidelined him.<\/p>\n
Johnston began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent, signing with the Eagles. He played three seasons in Philadelphia and was on the Super Bowl LII team.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Johnston signed with the Texans and led the league in punting yards (4,108) and total punts (88). He played two more seasons in Houston before joining the Steelers in 2024. <\/p>\n
In three games with the Bills this season, Johnston averaged 44.0 yards per punt with a net of 37.9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants are signing veteran punter Cameron Johnston to their practice squad, Dan Duggan of TheAthletic.com reports.
