Giants' Alonzo Russell: Makes final bid for roster spot
Alonzo Russell caught five of 15 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-29 win over the Patriots in the preseason finale.Russell scored a 35-yard touchdown in the first quarter, then won the game with a 14-yard score on the final play of the fourth. The 26-year-old Toledo product is still a long shot to make the roster, but perhaps this heroic effort will convince New York Giants brass to keep him on board, at least while fellow wide receiver Golden Tate serves a four-game suspension to start the season.

Giants' Alonzo Russell: Inks contract with Giants
Alonzo Russell signed a contract with the New York Giants on Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.Since going undrafted in 2016, Russell has bounced around between a few different practice squads, including the likes of Cincinnati and Arizona. He's been unable to earn a spot on an active roster, however, so despite signing with the Giants on Monday, there's a good chance he's a casualty of roster cuts as offseason and preseason activities commence over the next few months.
