The Giants have released offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson from the practice squad, per a club announcement. The former Titans first-round pick is now free to sign with any of the league’s other 31 teams.
Wilson auditioned for the Giants in September and showed enough to earn a spot on the 16-man taxi squad. That’s where he’s been ever since, but he’s yet to see live action in 2021. Of course, the NFL had higher hopes for him last year when the Titans made him the No. 29 overall pick in the draft.
To date, Wilson has just one pro appearance (with four snaps) to his credit. After his rookie year, the Titans effectively gave him to the Dolphins in a swap of seventh-round picks. Sometime after that, he was arrested for a high-speed chase, leading the Dolphins to cut bait as well.
It’s hard to imagine any playoff-bound team adding Wilson to the 53-man roster, but it’s possible that another club could audition him with an eye on 2022. The rest of Giants, meanwhile, will close out the season against Washington on Sunday.

One of the few times an XFL comment is spot on.
Sad. Not even his his teammate at Georgia and the Giants – Andrew Thomas could talk some sense into him.
Audition him? He’s already failed three auditions. Might be time to just let him go…
This guy actually out- crazies Antonio Brown.That takes some doing. Hell, at least Brown played the game at a high level when he wasn’t freaking out.
Shocker
What a waste of talent. Of course some team will invite him to a camp next year and probably take a chance that they can get through to him. A shame.
Gotta be one of the biggest busts in NFL draft history. This guy wasn’t hampered by injuries, he just couldn’t get out of his own way. Guess he is great at blocking himself. It’s one thing to say oh this player just didn’t have what it takes to play in the NFL, we will probably never know if that was the case with him.
How hard is it to stay awake in meeting, do what you need to do and show some work ethic? The Giants have the worst OL and are down to practice squad players off the street lining up during the game. This guy could have not only played but made a decent amount of money by doing so. Now he’ll be on shows with Ryan Leaf as the biggest draft busts in NFL history.
He better learn this expression, “you want fries with that?”.
Yeah, not even good enough to make it with the Giants…or even stay on the practice squad. Now that is the definition of pathetic…pretty sure my 96 year old grandma could do that LOL
Congratulations, big fella. You made your Momma real proud and your friends all brag about you. Oh wait…I was thinking about someone else.
This is the guy that’s a complete bust and is going to be the punchline to an endless line of jokes over the next couple of years. At least NFL teams have another example of what type of personality to avoid or be wary of when making a draft choice. At least he’s got a legacy as one of the biggest busts in NFL draft history.
