Skinner doesn't generate much buzz, but he finished last season as a core special teams player. With essentially the same linebackers corps returning, Skinner appears to be in good position to retain a roster spot. The problem for Skinner will be if the Giants elect to keep fewer linebackers this season after carrying seven last season.
Skinner was signed and cut from the practice squad twice in the first four weeks of the season. He got promoted to the active roster in Week 6 and then was cut again in Week 11. He returned to the practice squad in Week 12 and got promoted to the active roster in Week 13.
