Preston Parker cut, DT Kenrick Ellis re-signed

Giants remove Preston Parker from roster.

Struggling wide receiver Preston Parker has reportedly been cut by the New York Giants to make room for defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis, who is being re-signed.

Parker was a symbol of the Giants' failings the first two weeks of the season, dropping five passes as the Giants fell to 0-2. Parker was playing in the slot due to the absence of Victor Cruz, who has yet to play due to a calf injury. The move must signal that the Giants believe Cruz could be ready to return Week 4, when the Giants are in Orchard Park to face the Buffalo Bills.
