Jake Haener fills Giants' 53-man roster vacancy after Dart goes on IR

SB Nation

The New York Giants signed Jake Haener from their practice squad to fill the 53-man spot left by Jaxson Dart's move to injured reserve. They also elevated Braxton Berrios and Malik Harrison for Sunday's game against Tennessee, each player's third and final elevation.

Berrios and Harrison have each used their third and final elevation, so the Giants must sign them to the 53-man roster or risk losing them. Jameis Winston will start Sunday; he recently received a two-year, $13 million extension. Haener played eight games, including one start, for New Orleans in 2024, completing 18 of 39 passes with one touchdown and one interception.

Multiple reports say the Giants could add a third quarterback as soon as Monday. Reports also say the team reached out to free agent Jimmy Garoppolo, while general manager Joe Schoen has been exploring a possible trade. Winston's performance Sunday could affect how aggressively the Giants pursue another quarterback.
