Monday’s taxi squad moves:
Minnesota Vikings
- Signed: WR N’Keal Harry
New York Giants
- Released: QB Jacob Eason
New York Jets
- Signed: DT Bruce Hector
- Placed on IR: DT Perrion Winfrey
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Signed: QB Trace McSorley
- Released: WR Jacob Copeland
With Tyrod Taylor set to return to the Giants’ lineup in the coming days, New York has cleared out a spot on the practice squad for a third passer. Eason was added last month in the wake of Taylor’s rib injury, one which – coupled with Daniel Jones being out for the year – left the Giants short on healthy bodies at the QB position. Now that Taylor is healthy, Eason will look to find a new home. He has made one brief appearance with each of the Colts (2021) and Panthers (2022) during his career.
McSorley has bounced around the league since the end of his Ravens stint. He will now return to the AFC North in the wake of Pittsburgh losing starter Kenny Pickett for at least one game. The former has made nine career appearances and one start in the regular season.
