New York Giants sign QB Jake Haener to active roster
The New York Giants signed QB Jake Haener to the active roster and elevated two more for Week 3.
The New York Giants have added quarterback Jake Haener to their active roster, the team announced on Saturday. The move comes as the Giants prepare for their Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. Quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on his meniscus, MCL, and PCL. Jameis Winston will take over as the starter, leaving a need for a backup on the active roster.
Haener, a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was previously selected by the New Orleans Saints. He made eight appearances (including one start) for the Saints during the 2024 season, completing 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He also contributed 11 carries for 22 rushing yards.
The Giants have expressed their intention to bolster the quarterback room, which may involve a trade for a veteran or acquiring one from free agency. Alongside Haener's signing, the Giants elevated wide receiver Braxton Berrios and linebacker Malik Harrison from the practice squad, marking their third elevation of the season.
