The Giants claimed Pettis (shoulder) off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday, Michael Eisen of New York's official site reports.
The 2018 second-round pick was cut loose by the 49ers on Tuesday after the team was unable to find a trade partner prior to the deadline. Though Pettis' first two seasons with San Francisco were promising -- he recorded 38 receptions, 576 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during that time -- his standing in the organization had soured over the past two years. The move to New York will provide a much-needed fresh start for Pettis, who will likely slot in as the Giants' No. 4 wide receiver behind Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard (toe/shoulder) and Golden Tate.
