The Giants shore up inside linebacker depth by signing Neville Hewitt to the practice squad as injuries mount. McFadden is IR with a foot issue, Muasau concussed, Flannigan-Fowles nursing a calf, and Bozeman/Board stepping in behind Okereke. Hewitt, a 11th-year veteran with Dolphins, Jets and Texans, adds seasoned depth and special-teams know-how to a thinning room. A Dalen Cambre visit hints at further evaluation, with signing uncertain.

Fantasy-minded readers should note Hewitt’s arrival could cap value for reserve LBs until McFadden and Muasau heal. If Cambre lands on the practice squad, depth across defense and ST could shift again. Dallas looms soon, testing the Giants’ depth and special-teams efficiency as rosters stabilize.

Week 2 produced a 40-37 OT shootout loss for the New York Giants to Dallas, as 506 total yards and 37 points weren’t enough to seal the win. Russell Wilson sparked the opponent with 450 passing yards and three TDs, a performance that echoed elite fantasy outputs but ended with an overtime miscue on Nabers. The Giants moved the ball efficiently yet left points on the board due to four penalties on a single drive and a 1-for-5 red-zone day.

Defensively, the Giants wore down as Dallas wore out the run game, and Shane Bowen’s calls drew scrutiny. Special teams contributed positively—Gano nailed three short FGs, Turpin piled up kickoff yardage, and Olszewski along with Tracy Jr. provided solid return days. With Gipson inactive, questions linger about Kafka’s rhythm against Bowen’s unit. What’s next for the Giants scheduling-wise remains a key talking point for fantasy rosters.

Giants bolster the defense by elevating Elijah Garcia and Swayze Bozeman from the practice squad to help the front seven and special teams as injuries tighten the depth chart. With Rakeem Nunez-Roches doubtful and Micah McFadden on IR, New York pivots to veteran-ready depth behind the line and at inside linebacker while cap space remains tight.

Coming off a 21-6 loss to Washington, the Giants travel to Arlington for a Sunday matchup with Dallas at 1:05 p.m., where the new depth will be tested and future roster moves could hinge on any cap relief. The move signals a practical, depth-first approach as they chase a stronger division start.
