The New York Giants injury report for Thursday provided ample evidence as to why the team on Thursday signed defensive lineman Timmy Horne off the Atlanta Falcons practice squad.
Defensive tackles Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee) did not practice on Thursday. Defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson (back) did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday.
To make room for Horne on the 53-man roster, the Giants put placekicker Randy Bullock on season-ending IR. Bullock suffered a hamstring injury that necessitated punter Jamie Gillan taking over emergency kicking duties during Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints.
