The New York Giants, a bit thin in their secondary with nickel cornerback Dru Phillips ailing and cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse having been waived, are adding help at that spot.

Per Aaron Wilson, the Giants are signing Pdefensive back J.T. Woods. Woods visited the team on Sunday. Woods was part of an eight-player workout held by the Giants on Tuesday in West Virginia. Defensive backs David Long and D.J. James, along with offensive lineman Brandon Jaimes, have also been signed by the team after that workout.

A third-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022, Woods played in 13 games for the Chargers over two seasons. He has not played in an NFL game the past two seasons. During that time, he has been on the practice squads of the Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Jets.

The Giants return to practice on Monday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, N.J.
