The New York Giants on Saturday placed four players on season-ending injured reserve, including star left tackle Andrew Thomas.
Thomas (hamstring), safety Tyler Nubin (neck), defensive tackle D.J. Davidson (neck/concussion), and center John Michael Schmitz (finger) were all placed on injured reserve.
The Giants filled those roster spots by signing center Bryan Hudson, placekicker Ben Sauls, defensive tackle Elijah Chatman and safety Raheem Layne to the 53-man roster.
The Giants also elevated running back/kickoff returner Dante Miller and tight end Zach Davidson from the practice squad.
Without Thomas and Schmitz, Marcus Mbow will start at left tackle and Austin Schlottmann will start at center.
Roster-wise, Layne replace Nubin, Chatman replaces Davidson, Hudson replaces Schmitz. Sauls, who made his NFL debut as a placekicker in last week’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, also joins the 53-man roster.
The elevation of Miller, a speedy running back popular with the fan base, for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, is sure to be a hit with the fan base.
