Giants waive Sean Chandler, promote Eric Tomlinson

The New York Giants have made a habit out of shuffling their practice squad a time or two per week and that trend continued on Tuesday.

Mere days after promoting him to their active roster, the Giants have waived safety Sean Chandler. He is expected to be re-signed to their practice squad.

Replacing Chandler on the 53-man roster is tight end Eric Tomlinson, who was promoted from the team’s practice squad.

This move is a complete 180 from last week when Tomlinson had his contract terminated so that Chandler could be promoted to the active roster to provide depth in Jabrill Peppers’ (ankle) absence.

In a 17-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, Chandler was on the field for 16 special teams snaps (70%). In total, Chandler has appeared in three games for the Giants this season and has registered one tackle.

Tomlinson has appeared in just one game for the Giants this season, taking two offensive snaps and 11 special teams snaps, recording one tackle.
