The New York Giants have adjusted jersey assignments following the finalization of the team's initial 53-man roster. Running back Najee Harris, who joined the organization recently, selected No. 23 after wearing No. 22 throughout his college career and his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That number remains occupied by cornerback Dru Phillips. Simultaneously, rookie cornerback Colton Hood moved from No. 12 to No. 33. Hood previously wore No. 12, a number that became vacant after the team released backup quarterback Brandon Allen on Sunday. These changes occur as players continue to secure their preferred uniform designations within the newly established roster structure.
