New York Giants Roster Moves: Safety Cooper Taylor returns to 53-man roster

Another shot for former Giants' draft choice Cooper Taylor.

The New York Giants today filled the final spot on their 53-man roster by bringing safety Cooper Taylor, a 2013 fifth-round draft choice, back to the active roster. Taylor takes the roster spot of linebacker James Morris, waived on Tuesday.

Taylor played in three games earlier this year, was waived Oct. 20 and added to the practice squad on Nov. 3. Taylor is the second former Giants draft pick to be brought back to the roster this week. Tuesday, of course, wide receiver Hakeem Nicks was signed to take the roster spot vacated by the placement of Victor Cruz on injured reserve.
