Giants’ Depth Chart Update: Roster Moves Shuffle The Deck

A series of recent moves, necessitated by injuries, have changed not only the New York Giants’ 90-man roster, but also the team’s unofficial depth chart. Let’s take a look at that chart as the Giants head into their second preseason game.

I made only one change here from the chart posted by the Giants, placing Shane Smith ahead of Jacob Huesman at fullback. It isn’t certain by any means that the Giants will keep a true fullback, but Smith has to be considered the leader right now if they do. He gets the first-team reps on offense, and has been getting first looks on a variety of special teams units.

The big question for me is which defensive linemen make the team. The Giants have a plethora of defensive ends to choose from. I’ve begun to wonder if the ability of both Kerry Wynn and Jordan Williams to play both end and tackle could be bad news for someone like Robert Thomas.

Both Aldrick Rosas and Mike Nugent have been kicking well. I continue to believe, though, that the placekicking job is Rosas to lose.
