NFL: Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs

The New York Giants are signing fullback Jakob Johnson to a contract, ESPN reported on Tuesday. The Giants released the versatile veteran during roster cuts on Aug. 27. He was then signed to -- and subsequently released from -- the practice squad. Johnson, who plays both tight end and fullback, appeared in 13 games (five starts) last season with the Las Vegas Raiders. A native of Stuttgart, Germany, Johnson has totaled 19 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in 67 career games (34 starts) with the New England Patriots (2019-21) and Raiders (2022-23). --Field Level Media
