The Giants didn’t need to cut any players to trim their roster to 80 by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline — no thanks to the numerous injuries that have hit them during training camp.
They put rookie linebacker Darrian Beavers (torn left ACL) and tight ends Ricky Seals-Jones (toe) and Andre Miller (broken right forearm) on season-ending injured reserve.
And they placed offensive linemen Nick Gates (broken left leg) & Matt Peart (torn ACL) on the physically unable to perform list.
That means Gates and Peart will miss at least four regular season games, but it keeps them eligible to return after.
The team’s final round of cuts will be a week of Tuesday down to their 53-man roster for the season.
They’ll finish the preseason Sunday afternoon against the Jets at MetLife Stadium after the teams conduct a joint practice Thursday at the Giants’ facility.
