Giants are not done addressing defensive tackle — Joe Schoen
Giants will continue looking for upgrades.
The New York Giants have not made any waiver claims for a defensive tackle this week, despite being ranked fifth in the priority for claims. However, the team's General Manager, Joe Schoen, has stated that they are not finished adding players to the position. Schoen indicated on Wednesday that the Giants will "probably" sign another veteran player before their Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys, to join the practice squad.
The defensive line of the Giants currently includes signed defensive linemen D.J. Reader, Shelby Harris, C.J. Okoye, and Darius Alexander, as well as other veterans Bobby Jamison-Travis who participated in a good camp. The practice squad also consists of veteran Josh Tupou, a 32-year-old nose tackle who played for the Baltimore Ravens in the past two seasons, and rookie Ben Barten, who was undrafted.
Schoen expressed satisfaction with the current state of the defensive line and mentioned that they will continue to explore opportunities for further additions.
