The New York Giants have released defensive tackle Ross Blacklock to create roster space for incoming rookies, as per the NFL's daily transaction report. Blacklock, who joined the Giants' practice squad in December and signed a future contract in January, was a 2020 second-round pick by the Houston Texans. He has played 29 games in the NFL, with stints at the Vikings, Jaguars, Colts, and Titans during the 2023 season, amassing 40 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble in his career.
The move signifies the Giants' preparation for the upcoming draft picks and undrafted free agent signings, as they aim to strengthen their roster for the future. Blacklock's tenure with the team was short-lived, but his experience and contributions in the league will be remembered as he moves on from the Giants' organization.
