Giants' Rysen John: Competing for roster spot
John (ankle) faces added competition for a roster spot following the Giants' selection of Daniel Bellinger in the recent NFL Draft, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The 6-foot-7, 220-pounder landed on IR last season, but now that he's presumably past the ankle issue that landed him there, John will look to secure a depth tight end slot this coming season. Also in the mix behind projected starter Ricky Seals-Jones are Jordan Akins, Bellinger, Chris Myarick and Jake Hausmann.

The Giants placed John (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The timing of John's placement on IR effectively rules him out for the 2021 campaign. However, Duggan notes John's issue isn't necessarily of season-ending severity, so it's possible the tight end reaches an injury settlement. If that happens, he could be a candidate for the Giants' practice squad.
