The New York Giants have waived receiver Dennis Houston due to an undisclosed injury, potentially ending his chances for the 2024 season unless he finds a settlement. Houston had struggled with a hand injury but played in a recent preseason game where he did not make a catch. In contrast, rookie cornerback Andru Phillips, who had been sidelined with an ankle injury, returned to practice, positioning him to compete for a starting role. Tyrone Tracy also practiced after a week off due to an ankle sprain, indicating he may still be in the running for the No. 2 running back position behind Devin Singletary. Additionally, Tomon Fox returned to preseason action following a hamstring issue, which is crucial for his bid to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. The Giants' upcoming preseason game against the Jets may clarify the final roster decisions as the season approaches.
