PRACTICE-SQUAD

The New York Giants continued to build out their practice squad today with the additions of linebacker Swayze Bozeman, tight end Qadir Ismail and safety Patrick McMorris.

On Wednesday, they brought back 13 players on the practice squad, all of whom spent the offseason with the team.

Clubs are allowed 17 players on the practice squad, as long as one player qualifies and is designated as an international player. Kicker Jude McAtamney, a native of Derry, Ireland, is that player for the Giants.

Bozeman, 6-1 and 230 pounds, was waived by the Chicago Bears on Sunday. He spent last season with the Kansas Chiefs as an undrafted rookie out of Southern Mississippi. Bozeman played in the Chiefs' final six games, including all three in the postseason. He appeared in Super Bowl LIX and recorded two special teams tackles.

Ismail, 6-6 and 232 pounds, was waived by the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday. Ismail originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Ravens in 2024 and spent the majority of the season on the practice squad. He has not appeared in a regular-season game. Ismail started his college career at Villanova before transferring to Samford.

McMorris, 6-foot and 206 pounds, was waived by the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday. A sixth-round pick in the 2024 draft, McMorris played 97 special teams snaps and eight on defense in six games as a rookie. He missed the first 11 games with a foot injury. Prior to the NFL, McMorris transferred to California from San Diego State, where he was a first-team All-Mountain West selection in 2021.
