The New York Giants have activated outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari from injured reserve after opening his 21-day window on Wednesday.

Ojulari, who had been dealing with an ankle injury, landed on IR before the Giants Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills. Ojulari also missed two games in September with an ankle injury.

New York also elevated tight end Tyree Jackson and kicker Randy Bullock from the practice squad. 

This is Jackson's first elevation and Bullock's second. Last week, Bullock was chosen to kick ahead of Cade York, who is already on the 53-man roster. Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't say who would do the kicking for the team this week against the Cowboys, but it's assumed it will be Bullock, the seasoned veteran.

Earlier on Saturday, the team had confirmed that offensive lineman Evan Neal, who is dealing with an ankle injury that had him in a boot and on crutches this week, was among four players who did not make the trip to Dallas. That Neal, whom head coach Brian Daboll said was week-to-week, didn't land on injured reserve could be interpreted as encouraging.
