The Giants announced Thursday evening that former Detroit Lions offensive tackle Matt Nelson had agreed to terms pending a physical.
The Giants reportedly hosted Nelson for a free agent visit on Thursday.
Nelson, 28, played in 43 games with 14 starts for the Lions over the past four seasons. He has played 910 of his 1,071 career offensive snaps at right tackle and just snaps at left tackle. The rest of his snaps came while playing a jumbo tight end or fullback role.
Nelson played in three games with two starts last season before going on injured reserve with an ankle injury that required surgery.
