The New York Giants have terminated the contract of defensive lineman Ross Blacklock.
Blacklock was originally a second-round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2020 NFL draft. However, he quickly became a journeyman, making stops with the Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans before joining the Giants last season.
In 44 career games, the 26-year-old Blacklock has recorded 40 tackles (27 solo, five for a loss), one forced fumble, two passes defensed, nine QB hits, and 3.0 sacks.
The Giants signed Blacklock to their practice squad in December, but he was not elevated once and did not appear in a game. He was later signed to reserve/futures contracts in January.
Blacklock is the son of famed Harlem Globetrotters member Jimmy Blacklock.
