The New York Giants made a series of roster moves on Saturday as they continue dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak while also preparing for the Dallas Cowboys.
Safety Xavier McKinney has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing out of protocols. He is expected to start on Sunday.
The Giants also elevated three players from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements: cornerback Jarren Williams, wide receiver Alex Bachman and recently signed linebacker Jaylon Smith.
Additionally, the Giants have re-signed Sam Beal to the practice squad.
Beal, who was a third-round supplemental draft pick in 2018, was waived in early November after his career failed to take off in East Rutherford. A return seemed highly unlikely, but COVID-19 and flu outbreaks clearly changed some plans.
Finally, defensive back Quincy Wilson has been waived off of injured reserve with an injury settlement.
