The New York Giants still aren’t done trying to find any healthy and able defensive tackles from anywhere they can this offseason. Big Blue’s latest addition to the interior of their defensive front is a former second round NFL draft pick who is joining the team after a tryout at training camp on Monday, July 27.
News of Marlon Davidson’s arrival was reported by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. He noted how Davidson “played one game last season for the Houston Texans. The 28 year old was originally drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Falcons. Davidson essentially taking the roster spot of DT C.J. Ravenell, who was waived a few days ago with a non-football injury designation.”
Raanan’s reference to Ravenell’s abrupt departure is just one piece of injury news involving Giants’ D-tackles. Two other veteran defensive linemen were included on the PUP list to start camp.
The depth chart is still populated by journeymen tackles, but Davidson’s arrival shows the Giants remain concerned about their options at a position lacking elite talent after All-Pro Dexter Lawrence II was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals earlier this offseason.
