The New York Giants initially bolstered their practice squad by signing four players: wide receiver/kick returner Charlie Jones, cornerback Elijah Jones, and offensive linemen Kingsley Eguakun and Darian Kinnard.

Following these additions, Charlie Jones was promoted to the Giants’ 53-man active roster. Despite interest from his former team, the Cincinnati Bengals, Jones chose to remain with the Giants to demonstrate his capabilities beyond his role as a return specialist. His promotion occurred as the Giants managed injuries to players including Deonte Banks and Tyrone Tracy.
