The New York Giants have officially announced the signing of fullback Elijhaa Penny off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad. In a corresponding roster move, the Giants are placing center Jon Halapio on IR after he suffered a broken ankle Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
Fullback Shane Smith missed two critical blocks while playing only four offensive snaps on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. For now, however, Smith remains on the roster.
Penny, a 6-foot-1, 234-pound 25-year-old who played collegiately at Idaho, played in all 16 games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2017 after making the team as an undrafted free agent.
