The NY Giants roster must be set before Tuesday afternoon’s deadline, meaning Dave Gettleman, Joe Judge, and the front office must make 27 cuts to get to 53

The NFL preseason is over, and now the hardest work of all for front offices across the league, including the NY Giants begins as teams must trim their rosters to 53 players prior to Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline to do so.

Several players on the NY Giants roster are already candidates to be placed on injured reserve to start the season, with the possibility of tight end Evan Engram (calf) and wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot/ankle) joining the walking wounded during Sunday night’s 22-20 preseason loss to the New England Patriots.
