The Steelers made several roster moves, including promoting DeMarvin Leal to the active roster and signing new practice squad players like Ja'Whaun Bentley and Isaiah Hodgins, while placing Isaiahh Loudermilk on injured reserve and releasing J.J. Galbreath and Rakim Jarrett.
The New York Giants have re-signed veteran wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins, who emerged as a crucial member of the team's offense in the 2022 season, contributing to their first postseason win in a decade. Hodgins, who joined the Giants from the Buffalo Bills, concluded the 2023 season with 21 receptions, 230 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. The Giants' decision not to offer him a restricted free-agent tender led to a new deal likely for a lesser amount, as their wide receiver roster now includes Hodgins alongside Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, Wan'Dale Robinson, Isaiah McKenzie, Gunner Olszewski, and Bryce Ford-Wheaton.
During a run-heavy practice, the New York Giants showcased some impressive plays, including a short touchdown pass from Daniel Jones to Isaiah Hodgins. Rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt also caught a touchdown pass from Jones, while Saquon Barkley impressed with a long run. The rookie cornerbacks, Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins III, continued to shine, breaking up passes during 1-on-1 drills. Overall, the offense performed well with no turnovers, and outside linebacker Tomon Fox had a productive day disrupting plays.
