The New York Giants made a series of roster moves on Tuesday, beginning with wide receiver Cole Beasley being restored to the practice squad.
The Giants signed Beasley prior to the start of training camp and he appeared destined to make the 53-man roster before suffering a quad injury and being waived as a part of final cuts. He was quickly re-signed to the practice squad with an injured reserved designation.
Buy Giants TicketsDue to the designation, Beasley was ineligible to play for the first four weeks of the season.
In addition to Beasley, the Giants also signed veteran offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste to their practice squad.
The 27-year-old Cajuste was a third-round pick of the New England Patriots in the 2019 NFL draft. After four seasons playing under Bill Belichick, he signed with the New York Jets this past May but was waived/injured in early August. A week later, he was released with an injury settlement.
Now healthy, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Cajuste provides the Giants with a much-needed swing tackle.
In order to clear room on their practice squad for Beasley and Cajuste, the Giants terminated the contracts of cornerback Amani Oruwariye and wide receiver Cam Sims.
