Giants Sign RB Jonathan Ward, Add LB Amid Injuries

News summary

The New York Giants have signed veteran running back Jonathan Ward after multiple injuries thinned their running back corps during training camp, with Cam Skattebo sidelined by a hamstring injury, Rushawn Baker out with a knee issue, and Eric Gray on the physically unable to perform list. Ward, a 27-year-old undrafted free agent with five years of NFL experience, has played for the Cardinals, Titans, Jets, and most recently the Steelers, primarily as a special teams contributor. The Giants also signed linebacker K.J. Cloyd and placed Ty Summers on injured reserve to address depth concerns at linebacker. Ward's versatility and special teams ability are expected to help stabilize the roster ahead of the preseason opener. Optimism remains for Skattebo's recovery, and high expectations are set for the offense with new quarterback Russell Wilson. The Giants continue to adjust their roster in response to ongoing training camp injuries.
