Giants re-sign WR David Sills to practice squad

Sills was cut before Week 17 game vs. Colts

The New York Giants announced Tuesday that wide receiver David Sills, cut by the team on Saturday, has cleared waivers and been re-signed to the team’s practice squad.

The Giants cut defensive lineman Jack Heflin, who had been signed to the practice squad on Dec. 15, to clear a spot for Sills.

A former undrafted free agent who began his career with the Buffalo Bills, Sills was a key member of the Giants’ receiving corps at the beginning of the season. He played in nine games with five starts, catching 11 passes for 106 yards. Sills had played in only one game since Week 8, though, as Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton and Richie James have been used almost exclusively as the team’s trio of wide receivers.
