The 2025 New York Giants finished the process of final cuts to set their 53-man roster on Tuesday afternoon. The next step in the process of building their team is signing players to their practice squad.
Teams can begin signing players to their practice squad at noon today, Wednesday, August 27th. In the past, practice squads were limited to 10 players with no more than two accrued seasons of experience. Now, however, practice squads have expanded to 17 players, with a couple caveats.
Six of the 17 spots are open to veterans with unlimited NFL experience, while one of the 17 spots is reserved for a player from the International Pathway program. The 17th player for the Giants will almost certainly be Irish kicker Jude McAtamney, unless he’s been claimed by a kicker-hungry team.
NFL teams can sign players off of any team’s practice squad to their active roster, however any team can also protect up to four players on their own practice squad, preventing another team from poaching them. Additionally, teams can elevate two practice squad players to the active roster on game days — though they can only do so twice in a season without signing them to the active roster.
Potential practice squad players
- QB Tommy DeVito
- K Jude McAtamney
- OL Jake Kubas
- OC Bryan Hudson
- WR Dalen Cambre
- WR Juice Wells
- RB Dante Miller
- iDL Elijah Chatman
- iDL Jordon Riley
- EDGE Trace Ford
- EDGE Tomon Fox
- S Makari Paige
Potential veteran additions
- S Raheem Layne
- WR Imhir Smith-Marsette
- WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
- OT Stone Forsythe
- TE Greg Dulcich
Of course, the Giants aren’t limited to the players who were on their 90-man roster, though those are the ones with whom they’re most familiar. They can sign any of the hundreds of players cut by the other 31 teams on Tuesday.
