The New York Giants have signed tight end Josiah Deguara, formerly of the Green Bay Packers, to bolster their tight end position. Deguara, a third-round draft pick in 2020, was released by the San Francisco 49ers just days before the signing. The move comes following the injury of Giants wide receiver Calvin Austin, who suffered a torn ACL in practice, sidelining him for the entire 2026 season. This addition is likely aimed at filling gaps in the offense left by Austin's injury. The Giants also added wide receiver Kobe Prentice as part of their roster adjustments.
