John Harbaugh breaks down decisions made on Giants' initial 53-man roster
Following Monday's practice, head coach John Harbaugh was asked about the difficult decisions the Giants made as they put together their initial 53-man roster.
Head coach John Harbaugh provided insight into some of the decisions made as the Giants trimmed their 53-man roster. Odell Beckham Jr. was kept on the team after impressing in Friday's preseason finale, with Harbaugh stating, "From beginning to end, he earned it." The veteran cornerback will rotate in and out of the receiver room.
Braxton Berrios, who was cut, rejoined the Giants on the practice squad and is expected to serve as the top punt returner. The Giants retained Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the four-man running back room alongside Cam Skattebo, recently signed Najee Harris, Tracy, and veteran Devin Singletary. Dominic Zvada, the rookie kicker, was not a concern as he performed well in camp and preseason, converting all three of his field goals.
The sixth and final cornerback, Nic Jones, was kept on the roster as he brings versatility to the team, being able to play nickel, inside, outside, and some safety.
