Giants claim Ray Wilborn off waivers from Denver, waive Devery Hamilton

After suffering a leg injury during joint practices with the Detroit Lions last week, the Giants have decided to waive offensive lineman Devery Hamilton.

Hamilton was waived with an injury designation and if he clears, he will revert to the team’s reserve/injured list. At that point, if both sides desire it, Hamilton can be released with an injury settlement.

In a corresponding roster move, the Giants were awarded linebacker Ray Wilborn off waivers from the Denver Broncos.

Wilborn originally signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2020. He also spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the COVID-19-altered season.

In 2021, Wilborn joined the Green Bay Packers before being released as a part of final cuts in 2022. He then signed with the Broncos after a tryout and made his NFL debut last season.

Wilborn has appeared in two career games and taken all of his snaps (31) on special teams. He has not registered any common statistics.

Pro Football Focus gave Wilborn a 72.3 special teams grade in 2022.

Wilborn is the cousin of former Giants running back Reuben Droughns, who picked up a Super Bowl XLII ring with the team in 2007.

In addition to the Wilborn and Hamilton transactions, the Giants are also reportedly signing offensive lineman Julién Davenport.

D.J. Davidson activated from PUP

Prior to practice on Monday, New York Giants defensive lineman D.J. Davidson passed his physical and was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Davidson joins a suddenly deep group of interior defensive linemen, including rookie Jordon Riley, who played well in his NFL preseason debut.

Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee) remain on PUP with no timetable for return, although general manager Joe Schoen previously implied that Robinson could be activated this week.

The news on wide receiver Collin Johnson, who suffered a knee injury against the Detroit Lions, was also somewhat positive. His issue does not appear to be long-term.

“I don’t think it’s long-term, but I’m not a doctor, either,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.

Johnson will not practice on Monday but right tackle Evan Neal (concussion) will take a step forward. He will participate in the non-contact portion of practice as he works his way back. However, Neal remains in concussion protocol.

Meanwhile, offensive linemen Devery Hamilton (leg) and Tyre Phillips (unknown), running back Gary Brightwell (ankle), linebacker Cam Crown (unknown), defensive lineman Ryder Anderson (triceps), and defensive back Nick McCloud (stomach) will not practice.

Finally, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (abdominal) will practice after leaving Friday night’s preseason game against the Lions early. Nose tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (groin) will also practice.

Giants’ Gary Brightwell, Devery Hamilton dealing with injuries

The New York Giants entered their second day of joint practices against the Lions in Detroit with several roster ‘bubble’ players sitting out.

Gary Brightwell is, at the most, the Giants’ fourth-string running back behind Saquon Barkley, Matt Breida and Eric Gray but is the leading candidate to return kicks this season.

Devery Hamilton is vying for a roster spot at right tackle behind Evan Neal and Matt Peart.

Also taking a day off on Wednesday is veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee), who was scheduled to have a maintenance day.
