Justin Pugh Joins Giants Active Roster
1 year agoIn a sign of how banged up the New York Giants offensive line is, veteran offensive lineman Justin Pugh has gone from his couch to being signed to the team's active roster in the span of two weeks. Pugh was originally signed to the team's practice squad on Oct. 3 but signed to the active roster on Wednesday, three days after he made his debut with the team on Sunday night. He started at left guard in the Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills and then improbably shifted to left tackle when Josh Ezeudu (toe) was injured in the first half. Pugh had played just five snaps at left tackle since 2015. He will likely remain at left tackle in the short term since the G-Men are still without All-Pro Andrew Thomas (hamstring) and Ezeudu was placed on Injured Reserve. It's more bad news for the Giants struggling offense.
