Giants’ roster cuts: Nikita Whitlock, Matt LaCosse waived/injured

The New York Giants Monday waived/injured fullback Nikita Whitlock (foot) and tight end Matt LaCosse (knee), and waived wide receiver Myles White and long-snapper Tyler Ott. Teams have until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET to trim their rosters from 90 to 75 players.

These moves leave the roster at 86 players.

Whitlock played in 14 games for the Giants last season. He became a fan favorite when the Giants began using him as a pass-rushing defensive tackle as well as a fullback. White played in 12 games for the Giants last season, catching seven passes.
