Tony Jefferson: Heads to G-Men

The Giants signed Jefferson to their practice squad Thursday, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Baltimore released Jefferson on Tuesday, and the Giants subsequently swooped in and signed him to their practice squad. The defensive back played in six games between the 49ers and Ravens last season, with most of his action coming at the end of the campaign. The veteran has ample NFL experience and is a strong candidate to be added to the active roster at some point this season.
