Giants working out safeties Jonathan Sutherland, Raheem Layne

The New York Giants are dealing with several injuries at a multitude of positions, so they’ve held numerous player workouts this week.

That trend will continue on Wednesday when they host former Seattle Seahawks safety Jonathan Sutherland in East Rutherford, as reported by NFL insider Aaron Wilson.

Sutherland signed with the Seahawks as a rookie free agent following the 2023 NFL draft but never appeared in a regular season game for the team. He was released in late July of this year.

The 5-foot-11, 202-pound Sutherland had a solid college career at Penn State, recording 137 tackles, 1.5 sacks, five passes defensed, and one interception.

NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein had this to say about Sutherland coming out of PSU:

Sutherland played a hybrid safety/linebacker spot for Penn State, with duties ranging from slot coverage to run fits. He posted impressive numbers at his pro day and has above-average special teams production during his career. While he was asked to handle a versatile role, the tape doesn’t show him shining in any one area. Sutherland will need to find a positional home — possibly as a nickel/dime linebacker — to complement his special teams potential at the next level.

Art Stapleton of USA TODAY reports that former Los Angeles Chargers safety Raheem Layne will also be in for a workout.

Earlier this week, the Giants also worked out linebackers Shaun Bradley, K.J. Cloyd, Trey Kiser, and Chapelle Russell with Cloyd ultimately being signed.
