Roster moves: NY Giants put Chauncey Golston on IR, elevate two from the practice squad

The New York Giants made significant roster adjustments following their victory over the Arizona Cardinals, placing defensive lineman Chauncey Golston on injured reserve due to a neck injury. Golston, a key contributor on both base downs and in pass-rush packages, had been dealing with the injury since the game and required further medical evaluation.

His absence creates an opportunity for Jihad Ward, who was signed off the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad last week. Ward, a former Titans player under defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, had a standout 2025 season with 31 total tackles, 5 sacks, and 22 quarterback hits, offering immediate depth to the Giants’ defensive line.

Additionally, the Giants elevated receiver Dalen Cambre and linebacker Trace Ford from the practice squad, addressing needs at receiver and bolstering a front seven already impacted by Brian Burns’ injury.
