Giants place Elerson Smith, John Ross on IR; C.J. Board, Casey Kreiter are back

The New York Giants continued to shuffle their roster Wednesday evening. The Giants placed rookie edge defender Elerson Smith and wide receiver John Ross on injured reserve, and re-signed wide receiver C.J. Board and long snapper Casey Kreiter.

Smith, the team’s fourth-round pick out of Northern Iowa, had barely practiced all summer after suffering a hamstring injury. Ross, a veteran wide receiver signed as a free agent, has not practiced over the past two or three weeks with a hamstring injury of his own.

Both players will be eligible to return to the 53-man roster after missing three games.
