The New York Giants have finalized their 53-player roster by promoting wide receiver and special teams contributor Dalen Cambre from the practice squad to the active roster. The move came after the team released fellow receiver Darius Slayton earlier in the week, leaving them one spot short of a full roster.
Cambre, an undrafted free agent in his second year with the organization, appeared in seven games during the previous season primarily as a special teams player. Head coach John Harbaugh has praised the receiver’s work ethic and skill level during training camp. “I see him make a circus catch every single day,” Harbaugh said, noting that Cambre excels at special teams assignments and runs quality routes.
The roster addition brings the Giants’ wide receiver count to five players. The team is also elevating practice squad receiver Braxton Berrios to handle punt return duties and participate in kickoff coverage, along with linebacker Malik Harrison. The Giants must announce all practice squad elevations by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday.
The timing of these roster moves has raised questions about the availability of star receiver Malik Nabers for Sunday’s season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, though the team has not made an official announcement regarding his status.
