The New York Giants have re-signed wide receiver Braxton Berrios to their practice squad, according to reports. This move comes just days after the team released him to meet the 53-player roster deadline, with a mutual understanding that he would be brought back. Berrios, a vested veteran, was not subject to waivers, allowing the Giants to retain him while potentially keeping another player who might have otherwise been claimed by a different team.
The Giants anticipate elevating Berrios to the active roster for their Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. To make room for him on the active roster, the team will need to make a corresponding move, such as placing a player on injured reserve or releasing another player.
Berrios is expected to fill the role of punt returner and provide depth at the wide receiver position for the Giants.
