After suffering a leg injury during joint practices with the Detroit Lions last week, the Giants have decided to waive offensive lineman Devery Hamilton.
Hamilton was waived with an injury designation and if he clears, he will revert to the team’s reserve/injured list. At that point, if both sides desire it, Hamilton can be released with an injury settlement.
In a corresponding roster move, the Giants were awarded linebacker Ray Wilborn off waivers from the Denver Broncos.
Wilborn originally signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2020. He also spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the COVID-19-altered season.
In 2021, Wilborn joined the Green Bay Packers before being released as a part of final cuts in 2022. He then signed with the Broncos after a tryout and made his NFL debut last season.
Wilborn has appeared in two career games and taken all of his snaps (31) on special teams. He has not registered any common statistics.
Pro Football Focus gave Wilborn a 72.3 special teams grade in 2022.
Wilborn is the cousin of former Giants running back Reuben Droughns, who picked up a Super Bowl XLII ring with the team in 2007.
In addition to the Wilborn and Hamilton transactions, the Giants are also reportedly signing offensive lineman Julién Davenport.
