A source says that the New York Giants want to sign running back Jashaun Corbin from the Carolina Panthers
practice squad.
Corbin was originally signed by the Giants in 2022 as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M following two years
at Florida State. Corbin did not make the 53-man roster after signing, but he was sent to the team’s practice squad as
the running backs ahead of him remained healthy.
Corbin demonstrated enough of a skill set as a runner and receiver out of the backfield, as well as adequate pass
protection, in two training camps with New York, including this past summer, to earn a spot on a club that employs a
running back by committee method.
Corbin carried 16 times this preseason for 51 yards and one touchdown. He also had six receptions for 30 yards but
failed not make the 53-man roster. The Giants had planned to add him to their practice squad after final roster cuts,
but the Panthers stepped in with an offer, and he ended up on their practice squad.
Corbin, 23, spent the first six weeks of the 2023 regular season on the Panthers’ practice squad but was not
promoted to the main roster.
The Giants are currently missing Gary Brightwell (ankle and hamstring) and Eric Gray (calf), who were injured in
Sunday’s victory over the Washington Commanders. One of those two players (presumably Brightwell) is expected to
be placed on injured reserve to make room for Corbin, who is familiar with the Giants’ offensive scheme.
