TJ Brunson: Waived by Giants
Brunson (knee) was waived by the Giants on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Giants' TJ Brunson: Limited participation in OTAs
Brunson was seen participating in the Giants' OTAs this week in a red non-contact jersey while recovering from a torn ACL, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Brunson's injury, suffered during a preseason game, forced him to miss the entirety of his second season with the Giants. The 2020 seventh-round pick played five games during his rookie season, though 53 of his 55 total snaps came on special teams, and he may have slid down the team's inside linebacker depth chart based on the observed lineups during Thursday's OTA session, according to Duggan.

Giants' T.J. Brunson: Finds home in New York
The Giants selected Brunson in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 238th overall.
Brunson never really flashed the type of athleticism you'd ideally want in an inside backer, but he was a gritty and physical leader at South Carolina, registering over 100 tackles in his 2018 campaign. He'll join a bevy of linebackers drafted by the Giants in the 2020 NFL Draft.
