Giants Boost Squad for Rams Showdown
22 Sep
Summary
- Berrios and Harrison promoted from practice squad again.
- Players can be elevated three times before roster moves.
- Banks' calf injury status uncertain for Monday night game.
The New York Giants have elevated wide receiver/kick returner Braxton Berrios and linebacker Malik Harrison from their practice squad for the upcoming Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams. This is the second consecutive game for both players to receive such an elevation.
Under league rules, players can be elevated a maximum of three times before a decision must be made to place them on the 53-man roster or risk losing them to waivers. In Week 1, Berrios saw action on offense and handled kickoff returns, while Harrison contributed with tackles on special teams.
Meanwhile, the Giants are still awaiting updates on starting cornerback Deonte Banks, who is currently listed as questionable with a calf injury. Regardless of Banks' availability, second-round pick Colton Hood may see increased playing time. The team's inactive list will be finalized approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
