Giants roster moves: WR Jeff Smith waived, DT Donovan Jeter signed

The New York Giants on Friday waived wide receiver Jeff Smith with an injury designation, replacing him on the 90-man roster with defensive tackle Donavan Jeter.

Smith, signed in the offseason as a free agent after four seasons with the New York Jets, suffered a knee injury early in training camp and had not practiced in several days.

Jeter, a 6-foot-3, 325-pound nose tackle played in one game for the Washington Commanders last season. He made one tackle. Jeter went undrafted out of Michigan.

Jeter, 24, was in training camp with the Chicago Bears.
