Azeez Ojulari, Tony Jefferson activated from IR; Nick Vannett signed, Vernon Butler elevated

The New York Giants are activating edge defender Azeez Ojulari and safety Tony Jefferson from injured reserve in time for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders.

Ojulari, who has battled injuries to both calf muscles this season, has played in only two games with one sack and a pair of solo tackles. He had 8.0 sacks as a rookie in 2021.

Jefferson, in his ninth NFL season, played in three games before going on IR with a foot injury. He had five tackles, four of them solo.

The Giants also signed tight end Nick Vannett to the active roster and waived tight end Tanner Hudson.
