The Giants, shorthanded at linebacker, also signed linebacker Deontae Skinner on Tuesday.
New York placed linebacker Nigel Harris on injured reserve with a rib injury. Middle linebacker B.J. Goodson didn’t play in the loss to the Rams because of an ankle injury, and weakside linebacker Jonathan Casillas has missed three games with a neck injury.
