The New York Giants removed wide receiver David Sills from the reserve/COVID list but add linebacker Josiah Tauaefa to the list on Tuesday.
It isn’t clear if Tauaefa tested positive for COVID-19 or was in close contact with someone who did. The team isn’t allowed to release that information, but the Giants will do a swap on the list by activating Sills, who was added last week.
The Giants are ramping up for training camp without any preseason games in 2020. Tauaefa should be in the mix for the fourth linebacker spot in the new Big Blue defense brought along by Patrick Graham.
Tauaefa signed with the Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2019 spending half of the season on the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster in October. He recorded six tackles and two tackles for loss.
