Giants' Lawrence Cager: Hauls in first TD of season
Cager caught one of two targets for a 10-yard touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys.
The 6-foot-5 tight end was also targeted in the end zone by undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito on an earlier play that fell incomplete, but the duo ended up connecting for the Giants' first points of the game midway through the third quarter. Cager hadn't even seen a target since Week 1, but with Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve for at least three more games, both Cager and Daniel Bellinger figure to see increased looks -- and while the latter posted more yards Sunday, Cager's red-zone usage arguably makes him the more intriguing fantasy option.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Signs to active roster
The Giants signed Cager to their 53-man roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Sees little action on offense
Cager played 16 total snaps -- 13 on special teams and three on offense -- in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Bills.
After he was a healthy inactive for the Week 2 win over the Cardinals, Cager has suited up in each of the Giants' last four games. However, he's seen most of his playing time on special teams and will continue to have a minimal role on offense while both of the Giants' top two tight ends -- Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger -- are available.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Not playing Week 2
Cager (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Cager played 16 offensive snaps in a blowout loss Week 1 against Dallas and finished with two catches on two targets for 17 yards. However, he's being held out Week 2 in Arizona. Cager figures to see limited opportunities this season with Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger ahead of him on the tight-end depth chart.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Clear for Sunday
Cager (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Cager was listed as limited on all three of the Giants' Week 1 injury reports due to an ankle issue, but it won't impact his availability for the season opener. Meanwhile, Darren Waller, the team's top tight end, made an appearance on Friday's report with a hamstring concern that leaves him questionable for Sunday. If Waller ends up being limited or out this weekend, Cager and Daniel Bellinger figure to benefit considering the likely elevated snap counts for both players.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Limited practice again Thursday
Cager (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game versus Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
It's possible the Giants are just playing it safe with Cager, who won the third tight end spot after Chris Myarick went onto IR with a fracture in his hand. If his ankle injury is severe enough to keep him out of his team's opener, that would likely mean more snaps for sophomore fourth-rounder Daniel Bellinger.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Limited in practice
Cager (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Cager will contribute mostly on special teams and goal-line situations should he be able to suit up for Week 1 against the Cowboys this Sunday. He won the No. 3 tight end spot behind Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger after his main competition, Chris Myarick, was placed on injured reserve with a fractured hand before final roster cuts.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Three catches in preseason finale
Cager caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.
Cager started the game for New York with both Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger not suiting up. Cager has been in a battle with Chris Myarick for the Giants' third tight-end role, but the latter suffered a hand fracture Saturday, which may have cemented Cager's inclusion on the initial 53-man roster. He's unlikely to see much action on offense behind Waller and Bellinger, though Cager is also expected to contribute on special teams.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Leading receiver in loss
Cager caught eight of 10 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
With the Giants resting most of their starters for Week 18 after having been eliminated from the playoffs, Cager wound up being starting QB Davis Webb's favorite option on the afternoon, leading the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. It was a career-best performance for the journeyman tight end, but he'll remain a depth option for whatever team brings him aboard in 2023.
