According to Art Stapleton of The Record, the NY Giants have promoted running back Jon Hilliman from the practice squad.
To make room for Hilliman, the Giants have placed wide receiver Russell Shepard (foot) on Injured Reserve.
The Giants will be without Saquon Barkley for 4-8 weeks, so it was necessary for the Giants to add depth behind Wayne Gallman and Eli Penny.
Hilliman went undrafted this past April out of Rutgers.
He rushed for 80 yards on 25 carries this preseason.
