The New York Giants finalized their practice squad this week, bringing in four new names to round out their roster. They now have 17 players on the squad, one more than the standard 16, thanks to an international player designation. This gives them a bit of extra depth as the regular season approaches. Among the new additions is why to receive Retarly Jones, a former fourth round pick from the Cincinnati Bengals. Jones showed promise as a return specialist in college with multiple return touchdowns. While veteran Braxton Barrios is expected to handle pun returns, Jones could offer some competition in that role. The Giants also short up their offensive line and secondary. Kingsley Eglikun, a center with some starting experience, was added for death. Adrian Kennard, a versatile lineman who can play guard and tackle, also joins the practice squad, bringing Super Bowl experience with him.

He's considered a reclamation project after missing his rookie season due to injury and playing limited snaps last year. The Giants will be looking to develop his talent. With these signings, the Giants have built out their practice squad with a mix of potential contributors and developmental players. They've added depth that keep positions and are looking to see who can emerge as the season gets underway.
