New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will have a new receiving weapon available Sunday when the Giants host the San Francisco 49ers at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants are elevating wide receiver Ray Ray McCloud
for Sunday’s game. The Giants signed the 29-year-old McCloud to their practice last week, just one day after he was released by the Atlanta Falcons.
McCloud has 158 career receptions in 98 regular-season games. He had a career-best 62 receptions for Atlanta last season.
The Giants had elevated wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad for the last three games. Humphrey is out of elevations and would have to be added to the 53-man roster.
The Giants will also elevate linebacker Zaire Barnes for the third and final time. In two games, Barnes has played 40 special teams snaps (71%).
The Giants also made a move to help their cornerback depth. Art Green, already ruled out for Sunday’s game, has been placd on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Rico Payton, on injured reserve with a groin injury since being claimed off waivers right before the season began, has been added to the 53-man roster.
Cornerbacks Paulson Adebo (knee) and Cor’Dale Flott (concussion) will miss Sunday’s game.
The Giants did not elevate or sign running back Dante Miller from the practice squad. That means they will have only two running backs — Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary — active against the 49ers.
