New York Giants sign RB Austin Walter off practice squad

Big Blue has added depth to their running back position, a spot that’s depleting heading into Week 6.

On Thursday, the New York Giants signed running back Austin Walter off the practice squad. New York originally signed him to the practice squad on Sept. 18 after he was waived by the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 31. Walter played his college ball at Rice University and went undrafted this past Spring.

Roster update: The Giants have terminated the contract of QB Alex Tanney and signed RB Austin Walter from the practice squad.
