In a strategic move to secure linebacker Ty Summers on their roster, the Giants have decided to sign him to their 53-man lineup, as reported by Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The Giants have elevated Summers from the practice squad for the first three games, but with the risk of losing him to another team looming, they have made the decision to make him a permanent member of the team.
Summers has been a valuable asset on special teams, playing 53 snaps in the first three weeks and recording one tackle. His experience as a core special teams player with teams like the Saints, Jaguars, and Packers has proven his worth since being drafted by Green Bay in 2019.
On the flip side, fullback Jakob Johnson was released on Tuesday to make room for Summers on the roster. Johnson has played in two games this season, moving back and forth between the active roster and practice squad.
The Giants are making moves to solidify their team dynamics and maximize their potential for success on the field. With Summers now a permanent fixture, the team is looking to build on their momentum and continue their quest for victory in the upcoming games. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
