Giants will sign Chris Hubbard off 49ers practice squad

The Giants lost left tackle Andrew Thomas for the season to a foot injury this week and they're moving to add some veteran depth to the offensive line ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Head coach Brian Daboll said at a Friday press conference that the team will sign tackle Chris Hubbard off of the 49ers' practice squad.

Hubbard signed with the 49ers in May and joined the practice squad after being released in August. He started nine games for the Titans last season. He also played 85 regular season games and made 49 starts for the Browns and Steelers before moving on to Tennessee.

The PFF grades on the 33-year-old

Decent grades for about half a season in 2023.

They signed Chris "Old Mother" Hubbard because the OL cupboard is bare.😀

Not many options out there, he at least has some experience and is coming from a good and well coached team. About as good as you are going to get off the streets or PS, not a bad move.

That's nice but I would rather have Chuba Hubbard instead.

I'm totally on board with bringing in these senior citizens this year to stabilize the OL and prior to the Thomas injury, the combination of high draft picks, reasonably priced free agents and seniors worked to the extent that the OL was serviceable and sometimes effective.  That said, whether or not one or both of Neal and Ezeudu work out, the Giants need to draft for the OL at least 1 pick every year going forward

What happened to Tyre Phillips?
