New York Giants finalize roster with five notable player cuts

The New York Giants established their initial 53-man roster on Sunday evening. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach John Harbaugh made several personnel decisions to set the lineup for the 2026 season. Among the players released were offensive lineman Lucas Patrick, who competed during training camp, and inside linebacker Darius Muasau. Other departures included wide receiver Dalen Cambre, linebacker Trace Ford, and safety Beau Brade. The team prioritized younger roster spots, including players such as Bryan Hudson, Jack Kelly, and Zaire Barnes, while managing limitations in the secondary. Management will likely attempt to move some released players to the practice squad as the team prepares for the upcoming regular season.
