Giants Release Fullback Jakob Johnson

The New York Giants have once again waived fullback Jakob Johnson as part of roster adjustments to sign linebacker Ty Summers from their practice squad. Johnson has had a tumultuous tenure with the Giants, having been elevated from the practice squad and then released multiple times, and has only seen limited action on offense during his appearances this season. Despite his release, it is anticipated that Johnson will be re-signed to the practice squad to fill the vacancy left by Summers, who has contributed on special teams. The Giants are currently at 52 players on their roster following this move and the placement of tight end Lawrence Cager on injured reserve. Johnson's career has included stops with the Patriots and Raiders before joining the Giants, where he has played in two games this season, primarily on special teams without any significant statistics.
