Giants Tweak Practice Squad. The Giants tweaked their practice squad, signing defensive lineman Vernon Butler, a first-round pick by the Panthers in 2016, and offensive tackle Devery Hamilton, who had been waived from the 53-man roster Monday, to their practice squad.

Justin Layne Finds a New Home. Defensive back Justin Layne has been claimed off waivers by the Chicago Bears, per the NFL transacion report for November 15. Layne was waived by the Giants Monday.

Week 10 Roster Moves. The New York Giants have activated offensive tackle Matt Peart from the PUP list, adding him to the 53-man roster.
