The New York Giants had to trim their roster down to 85 by the close of business on Tuesday, but they didn’t wait that long.
Just prior to the start of practice, the team announced that tight end Jeremiah Hall and defensive back Gavin Heslop had been waived. Wide receiver Austin Proehl was also waived/injured.

Hall, who had been receiving first-team reps at times, is the biggest surprise among those waived. It’s especially surprising given the team’s lacking depth at the tight end position. He had also been receiving snaps at fullback/H-back in the absence of Andre Miller (forearm).
The Giants now have just four healthy tight ends on the roster: rookies Daniel Bellinger and Austin Allen, Chris Myarick and Jordan Akins.
Heslop and Proehl were deep down on the depth chart.
