The New York Giants are bringing Jake Haener back to the active roster, which means they’re rolling with three quarterbacks on their 53-man squad. That’s right, three.
Haener’s Wild Ride Back to the 53
This isn’t Haener’s first dance on the main roster this season, either. He got promoted once before when Jaxson Dart went down with that season-ending knee injury. But then, classic football churn, he was waived and slid back to the practice squad after the Giants went out and traded for J.J. McCarthy. Now, he’s back on the 53. Wild, right?
The Three-QB Strategy
So, why the triple threat at QB? Mike Garafolo from NFL Network confirmed this move means the Giants can officially designate either McCarthy or Haener as their emergency third quarterback. It’s all about that depth, especially when you’re 3-1 and looking good early in the season. You gotta protect that record.
The Giants are hitting the road for Week 5 to face the Commanders. With this three-QB setup, they’re clearly ready for anything. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out for their 3-1 run.
