The New York Giants' practice facility was quite busy on Tuesday.

The Giants hosted 11 different players for workouts. None have signed yet, but they could be options down the road.

The full list of 11:

  • QB Jaren Hall
  • WR Diontae Johnson
  • WR Jaylen Johnson
  • RB Israel Albanikanda
  • RB Darrynton Evans
  • RB Montreal Johnson
  • DB Isaiah Boldin
  • DB O'Donnell Fortune
  • DB Jalen Kimber
  • DB Jarius Monroe
  • DB Doneiko Slaughter

The two most intriguing names are the quarterback Hall and the veteran receiver Diontae Johnson.

It's also  notable that they brought in running backs after Cam Skattebo's season-ending injury.

Hall was a fifth-round pick by the Vikings in 2023 out of BYU. He's appeared in three NFL games, including two starts (1-1 record), with a 13-for-20 passing line for 168 yards.

Johnson is a former Pro Bowler with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's bounced around the last two seasons. In his NFL career, he has 424 catches for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns.

It wouldn't be surprising for the Giants to keep those guys in mind if they end up trading away a backup QB or a depth WR as the deadline comes up on Nov. 4.

For now, though, it was just a busy day of workouts in Giants land.
