Giants to workout WR Josh Doctson, QB Brian Lewerke

The New York Giants have become a workout and tryout factory as they continue to churn the back-end of their depth chart, and that will not change this week.

Wide receiver Josh Doctson and quarterback Brian Lewerke will be among the latest group to take the field in East Rutherford, potentially as early as Wednesday. They are currently going through COVID-19 protocols.

The 28-year-old Doctson, who was a first-round pick (No. 22 overall) of the Washington Football Team in 2016, opted out due to COVID-19 last season after initially signing with the New York Jets. The year prior, he was with the Minnesota Vikings.

In 34 career games (26 starts), the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Doctson has hauled in 81 receptions for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns. His best season came in 2018 when he caught a career-high 44 passes for 532 yards and two touchdowns.

Lewerke, 24, signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State in 2020. He was released as a part of final cuts last September and remained unsigned for the duration of the season.

The 6-foot-3, 216-pound Lewerke, who was named the Pinstripe Bowl MVP in 2019, has obviously never appeared in an NFL game.
