Even prior to Lorenzo Carter being lost for the season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, the New York Giants were taking a look at several free agent linebackers.
Art Stapleton of USA TODAY reports that the Giants had former Miami Dolphins outside linebacker Trent Harris in for a visit on Friday and that both he and rookie linebacker Kendall Coleman are currently going through COVID-19 testing protocols.
The Giants had ex-Dolphins OLB Trent Harris in for a look Friday, and he’s going through testing protocols now.
Both Harris and ex-Syracuse UDFA Kendall Coleman are expected to complete the expanded entry process for free agents on Tuesday, and then they’ll work out for the Giants.
Harris originally signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie out of Miami and spent his first season on the team’s practice squad.
In 2019, Harris signed with the aforementioned Dolphins and appeared in 11 games (three starts), recording 22 tackles (one for a loss), one forced fumble, two QB hits and 1.5 sacks.
Given his time in New England and Miami, Harris is a familiar face to both Giants head coach Joe Judge and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.
Coleman, meanwhile, signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent out of Syracuse earlier this year, but was released in mid-August.
