Giants sign OT Chris Hubbard off 49ers practice squad

The New York Giants today signed veteran offensive tackle Chris Hubbard off the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad. The move came two days after Andrew Thomas was placed on injured reserve due to season-ending foot surgery.

Hubbard, 6-4 and 295 pounds, has exactly 100 games of NFL experience, including six in the postseason. He played his first four seasons with the Steelers (2014-2017), the next five with the Browns (2018-2022), and one with the Titans (2023). Hubbard has started 58 games, 51 of which were at right tackle. He has also started four games at right guard and three as an extra lineman.

Hubbard signed with the 49ers this offseason and landed on their practice squad. Last season, Hubbard started all nine games in which he played for Tennessee. His six postseason appearances were all with Pittsburgh.

Hubbard originally made the Steelers’ practice squad in 2013 as an undrafted rookie from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), where he appeared in 40 games (29 starts) in four years (2009-2012).
