Nathan Stupar: Cut by Giants
Stupar was cut by the Giants on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports.
Stupar was the odd man out as the Giants re-signed wideout Bennie Fowler with Sterling Shepard in concussion protocol. In three games this season, the linebacker has recorded four tackles (two solo).

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Has shot at starting role Sunday
Stupar may start at inside linebacker for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
The Giants have been torched by injuries at linebacker, so they are deciding between Stupar and Josiah Tauaefa to start alongside David Mayo. There's a chance both players log reasonable playing time considering Tauaefa is an undrafted rookie and Stupar hasn't had a consistent role since 2016.

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Back with Giants
Stupar will re-sign with the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Stupar was released by the Giants earlier this month. Unfortunately, injuries to both Alec Ogletree (hamstring) and Tae Davis (concussion) are testing the team's depth at linebacker. While he's far from a household name, Stupar, 31, is a veteran inside linebacker who actually spent last season with the Giants and collected 14 tackles in 16 games.

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Healthy again
Stupar (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Stupar took a step back last season and worked mainly in a special-teams role, but the team may have more opportunities for him now that BJ Goodson is in Green Bay. Those chances will be limited, however, as Tae Davis and Alec Ogletree are pegged as the starters.

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Out with concussion

Stupar had four tackles (two solo) and played 36 defensive snaps before leaving the game. The 31-year-old re-signed with the Giants in March after being a significant special-teams contributor in 2018, but he'll now be sidelined until he clears the concussion protocol.

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Re-ups with New York
Stupar re-signed with the Giants on Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Warming up with starters
Stupar is warming up with the starting defense Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Stupar appears in line to draw the start at inside linebacker with Alec Ogletree (hamstring) inactive. Stupar hasn't seen more than 20 defensive snaps in a game this season, but he could be in line for a significant workload against the Redskins.

Giants' Nathan Stupar: Joins Giants
Stupar agreed a to a contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Stupar was released by the Saints Tuesday, but it did not take long for the Giants to scoop him up. The special teams' stud tore his ACL last season, but ultimately fought his way back to earn a spot on the Saints' 53-man roster. While that was ultimately short-lived, he made enough of an impression to earn another shot with the Giants. He will presumably provide depth at linebacker, while focusing primarily on special teams.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Practicing without limitation
Stupar is a full participant at the Saints' OTAs, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Stupar tore his ACL last October, ending his season prematurely. Now healthy and able to practice fully, he'll look to solidify his role on the defense and be a significant contributor behind starting linebackers Craig Robertson, Demario Davis, and A.J. Klein.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Tears ACL
Stupar suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's victory over the Lions, Herbie Teope of The Times-Picayune reports.
While Stupar simply provided depth on defense, the Saints will miss his special teams presence. The 29-year-old will now look to recover in time for the 2018 season.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Will play Sunday
Stupar (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Stupar was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but he'll ultimately be able to suit up and play through the hamstring issue. Starting outside linebacker Stephone Anthony (ankle) has been ruled out, so Stupar could be in line for additional snaps if Hau'oli Kikaha were to suffer an injury of his own as well.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Questionable for Sunday
Stupar (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
Stupar practicing on a limited basis this week is still an improvement after not practicing last week, but his status for Sunday remains unclear. The 29-year-old is likely nothing more than a depth linebacker for the Saints at this point.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Limited participant Wednesday
Stupar (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Stupar sat out the season opener against the Vikings after failing to practice last week, so his activity Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The 29-year-old will likely function as a depth linebacker for the Saints if he suits up in the Week 2 matchup with the Patriots.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Out for Week 1
Stupar (hamstring) was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Vikings, Herbie Teope of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Stupar did not participate in practice throughout the week, so this isn't exactly a surprise. A.J. Klein remains ahead of him on the depth chart, so Stupar was likely in line for a more limited role, regardless.

Saints' Nathan Stupar: Not expected to dress Thursday
Stupar (undisclosed) is not expected to play Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens, Herbie Teope of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Stupar finished last season with a career-high 59 tackles, one sack and an interception. He's still behind A.J. Klein on the depth chart so it makes sense that the Saints are exercising caution in the final preseason game.
