Giants release Carter Coughlin

The New York Giants have released linebacker Carter Coughlin, a seventh-round pick from the 2020 NFL draft, who primarily contributed on special teams over his four-year career. Despite playing in 55 games and recording 41 tackles, Coughlin's role diminished to special teams, where he led the team in tackles last season. Following his release, he is likely to join the Giants' practice squad, as he did not leave the team's facility. The Giants now have an open spot on their 53-man roster and may be looking to add a return specialist due to current injuries on the team. Additionally, the Giants reached injury settlements with wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste, confirming ongoing roster adjustments as the season approaches.
