The New York Giants have claimed wide receiver Dante Pettis off of waivers from the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year old, 6’1”, 195-pound Pettis was originally drafted in the 2nd round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the 49ers. He has played in 28 regular-season games, with 12 starts, catching 38 passes for 576 yards and seven touchdowns. Pettis also has experience returning kickoffs and punts.

The Giants also have placed safety Adrian Colbert on Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury. He has missed the last three games with the shoulder issue and also missed two games with a quad injury. Colbert has started two games this year for the Giants. He will be eligible to return after missing at three games.

The Giants claimed Colbert off of waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs in early September 2020. The 6’2”, 205-pound Colbert was originally drafted in the 7th round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Colbert has spent time with the 49ers (2017-2019), Seattle Seahawks (2019), Miami Dolphins (2019), and Chiefs (2020).
