Rogers made the practice squad as an undrafted free agent last season
The New York Giants have begun trimming their 90-man roster to make room for undrafted free agent signings and potential rookie tryout signings. The team announced on Thursday that second-year defensive tackle Casey Rogers has been waived.
Rogers made the Giants’ practice squad as an undrafted free agent last season. He was promoted to the active roster late in the season and appeared in two games.
After cutting Rogers, the Giants have 78 players on their roster not counting undrafted free agent signings. While all of those are unofficial and the actual number could be different , 14 signings have been reported. That would mean two cuts still have to be made in order to stay at the 90-man limit.
Rookie mini-camp begins on Friday.
First injury of the year
Edge defender Victor Dimukeje, signed as depth after the Giants lost Azeez Ojulari in free agency, has reportedly suffered a torn pectoral muscle and will miss time.
