NY Giants add former third-round pick to 53-man roster

The New York Giants signed wide receiver Jalin Hyatt from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Saturday. Hyatt fills the open spot created by the release of quarterback Jake Haener earlier in the week, with Haener subsequently re-signing to the practice squad. Hyatt provides depth at wide receiver and could serve as a kickoff returner while Charlie Jones nurses a hand injury.

Ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants also elevated running back Phil Mafah and defensive end Dawuane Smoot from the practice squad. Mafah offers needed backfield depth alongside Devin Singletary and Gregory Desrosiers, with Tyrone Tracy currently on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo listed as doubtful due to a hamstring injury.
