EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The initial version of the Giants' 53-man roster remained intact less than 24 hours before they made their first revisions.
The Giants today were awarded four players, including three defensive backs, off waivers and created room for them by terminating the contracts of four vested veterans.
The newcomers are defensive backs Nick McCloud (Buffalo), Justin Layne (Pittsburgh) and Jason Pinnock (Jets), as well as offensive lineman Jack Anderson (Philadelphia). All four players were released yesterday by the teams noted above, with whom they had spent training camp.
Those who were not with the Giants today are linebacker Austin Calitro, center Max Garcia, tight end Tanner Hudson and defensive end Nick Williams.
