• Giants' Jacob Eason: Serving as QB3 on Sunday

  01/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Eason (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but will serve as the team's emergency quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Eason was signed to the Giants' active roster Saturday after joining the team's practice squad Thursday. He'll be padded up for New York's regular-season finale and will only see the field if Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito sustain injuries.

• Jacob Eason: Back with Giants' practice squad

  The Giants signed Eason to their practice squad Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. The Giants just cut Eason from their practice squad in December, but with Tyrod Taylor now tending to a back injury, they've decided to bring Eason back on board as an insurance policy at quarterback. If Taylor is able to play in Week 18, it's unlikely that Eason will be active versus the Eagles.

  Eason reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. With starter Baker Mayfield (ankle) still out, Eason was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Buccaneers to serve as Carolina's No. 2 quarterback behind PJ Walker. However, the practice-squad signal-caller did not play as Walker went 16-for-22 passing for 177 yards and two touchdowns against Tampa Bay. Eason will now be eligible for just one more activation on game day while with the Panthers this season.

  Eason was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. With Baker Mayfield (ankle) doubtful to face Tampa Bay and Sam Darnold (ankle) still out of action, Eason will likely serve as the backup to PJ Walker for at least one more game. Eason saw his first action of the season last week against the Rams after Walker left with a neck injury, and the former completed three of five passes for 59 yards and an interception.

Walker and Sam Darnold (ankle).
