The New York Giants made a series of moves on Saturday to set their roster for Sunday\u2019s season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n
Wan\u2019Dale Robinson, 2 others placed on IR<\/p>\n
The Giants placed three starters \u2014 wide receiver Wan\u2019Dale Robinson (ribs), cornerback Cor\u2019Dale Flott (knee), and defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle\/toe) on injured reserve Saturday.<\/p>\n
Robinson passed 1,000 receiving yards for the season for the first time in his career in Week 17. Interim head coach Mike Kafka said during the week that Robinson was \u201csore.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Giants will be without Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson (illness), their top two receivers on Sunday. They have, of course, been without Malik Nabers since he tore his ACL in Week 4.<\/p>\n
Flott established himself as a starting cornerback this season. Both Robinson and Flott are headed to free agency. Nunez-Roches is a key member of the defensive line rotation.<\/p>\n
Dante Miller, 2 others signed to 53-man roster<\/p>\n
It might finally be \u2018Turbo\u2019 time for the Giants.<\/p>\n
Running back Dante \u2018Turbo\u2019 Miller, a speedster who has spent most of the last two seasons on the team\u2019s practice squad, is one of three players added to the roster. The other two are cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse and wide receiver\/return man Xavier Gipson.<\/p>\n
The Giants were awarded Bernard-Converse off waivers from the Cleveland Browns on October 28. They waived him on Dec. 13 and subsequently signed him to the practice squad.<\/p>\n
Gipson has been with the Giants twice this season. He was claimed off waivers from the Jets, then lost on waivers to the Eagles, before being re-signed to the practice squad on Dec. 10.<\/p>\n
2 players elevated from practice squad<\/p>\n
The Giants are elevating defensive tackle Casey Rogers and tight end Tanner Conner for Sunday\u2019s game. Rogers played two games for the Giants in 2024. He was signed to the practice squad on Dec. 8. Conner, a four-year veteran, played in nine games for the Miami Dolphins this season. He was added to the Giants\u2019 practice squad on Dec. 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants made a series of moves on Saturday to set their roster for Sunday\u2019s season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,30536,1978,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-651961","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-injuries","13":"tag-new-york-giants-roster","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkgiants","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115833998332777156","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
