There is a reason coaches do not call players to inform them they’ve made the team on NFL cut-down day. The 53-man roster is fluid until the season starts, and so players who think they’ve made the team on Saturday can get cut on Sunday as the waiver claim process begins.
The Giants dipped into the waiver waters Sunday and were awarded defensive tackle Louis Nix III from the Texans and cornerback/kick returner Asa Jackson from the Ravens.
The Giants will have to cut two players to make room on the roster.
Both players are coming off uneven preseasons.
