The New York Giants made a number of roster moves on Saturday in advance of their Week 9 game Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Giants are placing quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve. Waller, who has a history of hamstring injuries, had said during the week he might be headed for a multi-week absence.
The Giants are adding tight end Lawrence Cager to the 53-man roster to replace Waller. Cager began the season on the active roster, was waived and re-signed to the practice squad in mid-October, and is now back on the main roster.
