The shoulder injury wide receiver/punt returner Dante Pettis suffered Monday night trying to recover a muffed punt has caused the New York Giants to place Pettis on injured reserve.
The Giants also terminated tight end Jake Hausmann from their practice squad and re-signed running back Dexter Williams to the practice squad. Williams was with the team’s practice squad for three weeks in September.
Williams could be protection for the Giants in the event that Gary Brightwell is not cleared from the Reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
