Giants Cut 4 Players to Clear Path for John Harbaugh’s Rookie Class

The following year, Chatman landed on the team’s practice squad, though he did get to take part in five games, including three standard elevations and having been signed to the 53-man roster on December 27.

He finished with just three tackles, his role on defense vastly reduced and his roster spot jeopardized given the Giants' additions this offseason.

Bozeman, 6-foot-1 and 224 pounds, was brought on board when injuries at inside linebacker started piling up.

In his lone season with the Giants, his biggest contribution though, was on special teams, where he finished with four tackles (one solo) in six games while also adding two tackles on defense.

Tuipulotu, a 6-foot-2, 307-pound nose tackle, was signed earlier this year to a reserve/futures contract. He had spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Eagles, who selected him in the sixth round of the 2023 draft out of USC. Prior to signing with the Giants, Tuipulotu had spent the last two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jackson initially entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent signed by the Denver Broncos after the 2025 draft. After the 5-foot-11, 189-pound receiver failed to make the Broncos roster, he was picked up by the Seattle Seahawks, who signed him to their practice squad on August 28, 2025.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh has been assembling a bigger, more physical roster for his first campaign with Big Blue. The four players released clearly don’t fit that desired vision and will now have a chance to catch on with another team.
