## Resource

The New York Giants’ initial 53-man roster is set, but defensive line depth and backup center remain among the glaring concerns. Can John Harbaugh’s team reinforce those positions before the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys? Patricia Traina breaks down the roster’s biggest takeaways, including Odell Beckham Jr. earning a spot, Braxton Berrios awaiting a return, and the surprising decision to keep four tight ends while carrying only five wide receivers. The rookie report features Arvell Reese, Sisi Mauigoa, Colton Hood, Malachi Fields, Bobby Jamison-Travis, JC Davis, Jack Kelly, Ben Mann, and Dominic Zvada.
