The New York Giants will hold their weekly workouts on Tuesday and wide receiver James Proche will be among the group in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler was the first to report Proche’s workout.

The 26-year-old Proche was a sixth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2020 NFL draft and had spent his entire three-year career with the team before being released as a part of final cuts.
In 43 career games, Proche has hauled in 25 receptions for 278 yards and 14 first downs. He also sees a lot of action in special teams, returning 27 punts for 222 yards and two kickoffs for 22 yards.
In addition to Porche, the Giants are also working out wide receiver Andre Roberts.
The #Giants are working out WRs today, including veteran WR and return specialist Andre Roberts, source said. The former All-Pro has played for nine teams, including most recently the #Panthers.

The 35-year-old Roberts was a third-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in the 2010 NFL draft. He’s also played for the Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers.
Roberts is a prolific return man who’s been to three Pro Bowls and been named an All-Pro three times.
The Giants have needs along the offensive line, at cornerback and in the secondary, but don’t really have a glaring need at receiver. However, head coach Brian Daboll & Co. seem to be looking for an alternate option at returner after rookie running back Eric Gray fielded just one punt for seven yards on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
