Taquan Mizzell - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Shifts to IR The Giants placed Mizzell (undisclosed) on injured reserve Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction report.

Impact Mizzell has only handled nine carries in his NFL career, and he's not a realistic candidate to handle offensive work for the Giants even if healthy this season. Still, with Saquon Barkley (knee) recovering from an ACL tear and not officially committed to a Week 1 return, it's worth keeping an eye on New York's reserve options. Mizzell can be activated from IR at any point during training camp.

Remaining with Giants Mizzell signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Monday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

Impact Mizzell provided depth at running back for the G-Men this season, but the 27-year-old remains without a game appearance since his time with the Bears in 2018. He linked up with the Giants' practice squad in mid-November after being let go by New Orleans, and the back will stick with his new team into the new year.

Links up with practice squad Mizzell signed with the Giants' practice squad Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact With Alfred Morris getting elevated to the active roster, a practice squad slot opened up for the 27-year-old receiver. Mizzell's 12 career NFL appearances all came between 2017 and 2018 when he was a member of the Bears, and he accumulated 94 scrimmage yards on 17 combined offensive touches during that span. Mizzell was waived by the Saints this summer, but he'll now have an opportunity in a depth role with the Giants.

Hits waivers The Saints waived Mizzell on Sunday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Mizzell hasn't logged an NFL snap in a game that matters since the Bears' wild-card loss to the Eagles in January 2019. In the meantime, he resided on the Saints' practice squad last season and signed a reserve/future contract back in January. Mizzell will search for employment elsewhere.
