Ex-Giants OL Justin Pugh drawing NFL interest

Former New York Giants offensive lineman Justin Pugh remains unsigned as the start of the NFL regular season nears. The veteran was with Big Blue last year, signing to the practice squad in early October before being elevated to the active roster shortly after that.

He came “straight off the couch.”

Pugh played in 12 games for the Giants last season and still believes he has something left in the tank following his 10th season in 2023.

Recently, Pugh posted a video of him doing blocking drills — kind of — at the beach, and shortly after that received a call from his agent.

“Straight off the beach?”

Pugh was serviceable for a very decimated Giants offensive line last year and certainly brings a veteran presence to a locker room.

Pugh was, of course, drafted by the Giants in 2013 and spent the first five years of his career there before playing for the Arizona Cardinals for the following four years.

As the season starts and injuries happen, Pugh could find himself on an NFL roster before long. Teams are always looking for veteran depth at the offensive line and he is staying ready to go when he gets the call.

Given their recent O-line issue, might the Giants be among the interested parties? That would certainly be Pugh’s preference.
