FB/TE Jakob Johnson from Giants Practice Squad | New York Giants Tracker
Sept. 6: JAKOB JOHNSON RELEASED FROM PRACTICE SQUAD. Fullback/tight end Jakob Johnson is probably starting to feel like a human yo-yo when it comes to his tenure with the New York Giants.
Johnson was released from the team’s practice squad to make room for the signing of inside linebacker Carter Coughlin, who was dropped from the 53-man roster on Thursday.
Johnson, originally signed by the Giants on August 16, did not make the initial 53 man roster when cuts were announced on August 27, but he was one of the vested veterans added to the team’s practice squad the next day.
Then on August 29, he was promoted to the 53-man roster after offensive lineman Austin Schlottman landed on injured reserve with a broken leg. Schlottman’s stay on the roster was short-lived as his contract was terminated two days later, on August 31.
He was then re-signed to the practice squad on September 2, lasting just four days until the latest transaction.
The Giants have been engaging in roster gymnastics this week so it’s certainly possible that Johnson will be back at some point.
