Thorson was signed to the Giants' practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The quarterback will likely operate as a reserve option behind Jake Fromm and Brian Lewerke in Week 18 as both Daniel Jones (neck) and Mike Glennon (wrist) will be unavailable. Thorson has spent a large portion of the season with the Giants, allowing him to fill in if needed against Washington on Sunday.

Clayton Thorson: Visits Giants
Thorson visited the Giants on Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
The Giants are depleted at quarterback with both Daniel Jones (neck) and Mike Glennon (wrist) ruled out. Thus, while Thorson has not yet signed with the team, he'll reportedly serve as insurance in case Jake Fromm is unable to suit up for an unforeseen reason. Thorson spent much of training camp and parts of this season with the Giants practice squad, so he should be familiar with the offense if he is forced into action.
