Giants Release Jakob Johnson, Retain Miles Boykin

The New York Giants have made roster changes, waiving wide receiver Miles Boykin and re-signing fullback/tight end Jakob Johnson to their practice squad. Boykin, who joined the Giants on a one-year deal after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, has struggled to find his footing since being drafted by the Ravens in 2019. Johnson's journey includes overcoming challenges as an international player from Germany, initially joining the NFL via the Patriots' International Player Pathway Program in 2019, and has seen him rotate between active and practice squads. His experience includes time with the Raiders and a brief stint with the Giants, showcasing his versatility and value as both a blocker and special teams player. The Giants' latest moves reflect their ongoing adjustments as they solidify their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
