The New York Giants have released veteran punter Cameron Johnston from their practice squad, per the league’s transactions wire.
Johnston, in his eighth NFL season, filled in for New York when regular punter Jame Gillan missed the team’s Week 15 game against the Washington Commanders with a knee injury. Johnston punted four times in that game for an average of 45.5 yards per punt, but one of his punts was returned by Jaylin Lane of the Commanders for a 63-yard touchdown.
Gillan returned to the lineup Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. He punted twice for an average of 45.5 yards per punt, and held for two field goals and an extra point by left-footed rookie placekicker Ben Sauls.
