EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Veteran offensive lineman Justin Pugh has gone from straight off the couch to being signed to the New York Giants active roster in a span of two weeks.

Pugh, who was signed to the practice squad on Oct. 3, put pen to paper on a new one-year deal with the team on Wednesday, the team announced. This comes two days after he made his 2023 season debut in a 14-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

"Justin Pugh, straight off the couch," Pugh now famously said instead of his college during the "Sunday Night Football" introductions.
