Giants Elevate Two from Practice Squad for Monday Night Clash with Steelers

Giants Make Roster Moves Ahead of Primetime Matchup

The New York Giants have elevated two players from their practice squad ahead of their Monday Night Football clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Defensive back Jarren Williams and wide receiver Marcus Johnson have been added to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.

Williams and Johnson Provide Depth for Giants

Williams, a second-year player out of the University of Houston, has appeared in one game for the Giants this season. He recorded one tackle in the team's Week 1 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Johnson, a rookie from the University of Texas, has yet to make his NFL debut.

The Giants are dealing with several injuries in the secondary, with starting cornerback Adoree' Jackson and safety Julian Love both listed as questionable for Monday's game. Williams' elevation provides the team with some much-needed depth in the defensive backfield.

Johnson's addition to the roster gives the Giants another option at wide receiver behind starters Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, and Sterling Shepard. Johnson has impressed the Giants' coaching staff with his speed and playmaking ability in practice.

Giants Look to Improve to 3-1

The Giants enter Monday's game with a 2-1 record, looking to improve to 3-1 for the first time since 2016. The Steelers, meanwhile, are 1-2 but coming off a convincing victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.

The Giants will need to play a clean game to beat the Steelers, who boast one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. The addition of Williams and Johnson to the active roster should help the Giants compete and potentially pull off an upset on Monday Night Football.
