Giants' Zach Davidson: Elevated for Week 17

The Giants elevated Davidson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

With Theo Johnson (illness) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, Davidson may get some snaps as a blocking tight end. The 27-year-old has been elevated for his first game this season and will likely be used to bolster the special teams unit.
