Here is a look at the latest Giants roster moves…
Aug. 27, 10:00 a.m.
The Giants made the first of what figures to be a handful of cuts over the next few days, releasing veteran running back James Robinson on Sunday morning.
Robinson landed with Big Blue late in training camp as potential insurance at the position when Saquon Barkley was still sitting out of practices.
With Barkley back and ready to roll for the regular season, Robinson just became a roster casualty.
In New York’s final preseason game Saturday night, he received his biggest workload so far, carrying the ball 10 times for 55 yards including a long 28-yard run in the second quarter.
Additionally, the Giants have cut WR Jaydon Mickens, DL Kevin Atkins, OL Julien Davenport, OL Korey Cunningham, DE Tashawn Bower, DB Darren Evans, and DL Brandin Bryant.
Aug. 19, 2:03 p.m.
The Giants released cornerback Rodarius Williams on Saturday morning, head coach Brian Daboll announced in his afternoon news conference.
“No, no, he wasn’t hurt,” he said when asked about why Williams did not play in Friday’s 21-19 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. “We actually released him this morning. We have some younger guys, so it’s kind of been busy here in meetings. Yeah, that happened this morning.”
Williams, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Giants in the 2021 NFL Draft.
In eight regular-season games with the Giants from 2021-22, Williams totaled 16 tackles, two pass breakups and one interception.
A Shreveport, La., native, Williams starred at Oklahoma State from 2016-20.
Aug. 16, 9:30 a.m,
The Giants announced the signing of offensive tackle Julien Davenport and in a corresponding move, the club waived/injured linebacker Troy Brown.
Brown, 24, was an undrafted rookie free agent out of Ole Miss.
Aug. 15, 4:30 p.m.
The Giants have signed offensive tackle Julien Davenport, according to numerous reports.
Davenport, a former fourth-round pick, worked out with Big Blue during Tuesday afternoon’s practice. With the team looking for more depth at the tackle position, they decided to keep him around.
The New Jersey native has been a bit of a journeyman spending time with the Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, and Houston Texans over the years.
Davenport has appeared in 60 career games with 32 starts and his last regular-season appearance came back in 2021.
Aug. 15, 3:30 p.m.
The Giants announced they had claimed linebacker Ray Wilborn off waivers and placed offensive lineman Devery Hamilton on injured reserve.
Wilborn was recently released by the Denver Broncos, where he played in two games and was on 14 snaps on special teams late last season.
The 26-year-old was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Ball State in 2020 by the Atlanta Falcons before he was released before the season and spent part of that year on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad. He spent the 2021 season in Green Bay on the Packers practice squad before he finally broke into the NFL with the Broncos last season.
The team announced Hamilton sustained a lower left leg injury during the team’s first joint practice in Detroit. He played 39 snaps as a reserve tackle last season and 38 on special teams for Big Blue in 2022.
