Giants sign ex-Chargers safety JT Woods to bolster secondary

The New York Giants have signed safety JT Woods as head coach John Harbaugh assesses his roster during the training camp that began on August 10, 2026. Woods, a former third-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022, played 13 games with one start during his two-year stint there and has since been on multiple practice squads. His addition aims to enhance the Giants' secondary, which ranked 16th in passing defense last year, allowing an average of 214.2 yards per game. There is uncertainty surrounding Woods' chances of making the final roster as he enters training camp late, but he will compete for a spot among the defensive backs.
