Giants cut to 53 after a 3-0 preseason, shipping Montrell Washington and several depth pieces as they lean toward youth and special-teams upside. Tommy DeVito and K’Von Wallace were among the notable cuts, with eight players released Friday and T.J. Moore placed on IR. The moves sharpen competition at WR and LB while elevating practice-squad bets ahead of Week 1.

Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots preseason results loom as benchmarks for Giants roster math, and the club must navigate return-game duties and depth concerns as they finalize the 53.
