The New York Giants have claimed linebacker Tuzar Skipper off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers, once again bringing their roster to a full 53 men.
Skipper was signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo in April and earned his way onto their initial 53-man roster with an impressive preseason that included five sacks, seven pressures and two forced fumbles.
The 6-foot-3, 246-pound Skipper will likely see most of his time on special teams while also serving as a depth linebacker. It’s a similar role to that of Nate Stupar, whom the Giants released last week.
