Giants' Cole Hikutini: Staying in NFC East
Hikutini signed with the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Hikutini spent the 2020 season on the Cowboys' practice squad, but he never played a game. The Louisville product hasn't seen an NFL snap since his rookie season in 2017. With Evan Engram, Kyle Rudolph (foot), Kaden Smith and Levine Toilolo also on the roster, Hikutini has an uphill battle to nab a roster spot.

Hikutini cleared waivers Sunday and signed with the Cowboys' practice squad, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

49ers' Cole Hikutini: Catches pass Thursday
Hikutini (groin) caught his lone target for 18 yards in Thursday's preseason win over Dallas.
Hikutini was dealing with a minor groin injury last week, but he appears to have gotten over the issue in short order. Starting tight end George Kittle suffered a shoulder injury Thursday, so Hikutini will serve as the primary backup to Garrett Celek until Kittle returns to action.

49ers' Cole Hikutini: Dealing with groin injury
Hikutini will not participate in training camp this week due to a groin injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Hikutini recently returned from an MCL sprain he suffered last season and he participated in the team's minicamp. Now, the injury bug has hit him again, although it doesn't seem like there is too much concern, as the 49ers are hoping he's healthy enough to return next week.

49ers' Cole Hikutini: Returns healthy
Hikutini (knee) took part in the 49ers' minicamp practices earlier in June, Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Hikutini caught on with the 49ers as an undrafted rookie last year and hauled in two passes in four games before an MCL sprain landed him on injured reserve in November. Now healthy, the second-year pro likely will enter training camp as the team's No. 3 tight end, but he isn't a real threat to George Kittle and Garrett Celek atop the depth chart.

49ers' Cole Hikutini: Lands on IR with MCL sprain
Hikutini will be placed on injured reserve this week after suffering an MCL sprain in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.
The team's third-string tight end will miss the remainder of the 2017 season following the injury designation. Given his place on the roster, there's no guarantee he'll stick around for the 2018 campaign which figures to have a fair amount of turnover in San Francisco.

Hikutini has been ruled out of the remainder of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Hikutini was set to see additional snaps since George Kittle (leg) was sitting out. With Hikutini's absence, though, Garrett Celek is the lone, healthy tight end for the 49ers, but Kittle still has a chance to return.
