Giants sign Joel Wilson to practice squad, place Lawrence Cager on IR

The New York Giants on Monday reportedly worked out four tight ends, perhaps seeking to add one to their practice squad.

[UPDATE: Coach Brian Daboll announced on Tuesday that tight end Lawrence Cager, who was on the practice squad, is headed to injured reserve. The Giants are reportedly signing Wilson to take Cager’s place on the practice squad.]

Teagan Quitoriano, Armani Rogers, Stephen Sullivan, and Joel Wilson all worked out for New York.

Quitoriano was a fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. The 6-foot-6, 258-pound 24-year-old played in 16 games with 11 starts and nine receptions over two seasons. He was waived/injured by the Texans and released with an injury settlement Sept. 4 after a calf injury.

Rogers, 6-6, 225, played in 11 games with three starts for Washington in 2022. He had five receptions. Rogers missed last season with an Achilles injury.

Sullivan, 6-5, 245, was a seventh-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2020. He played one game for the Seahawks, and spent the last three seasons with the Carolina Panthers. He has played in 29 career games. Last season for Carolina Sullivan had 12 catches for 125 yards in 11 games. Sullivan was placed on IR with a quad injury and then released with an injury settlement.

Wilson, 6-4, 242, split last season between the practice squads of the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers in the offseason, and released at the end of the preseason.

The Giants have three tight ends — Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz — plus fullback Jakob Johnson on their 53-man roster.
