EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants are signing linebacker Landon Collins off the practice squad to their active roster, coach Brian Daboll said Thursday.
The former All Pro safety had been on the practice squad since early October. But his role increased last week against Washington when he played a season-high 27 snaps at linebacker.
"Worked hard. Showed what I can do," Collins said. "Getting that opportunity. That is the best part about it."
Collins, 28, has played in three games since being signed for a second stint with the Giants.
