Giants sign safety K’Von Wallace on the eve of the 1st practice of training camp
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants added some secondary depth on the eve of the first practice of training camp by signing safety K’Von Wallace.
Wallace, who attended minicamp in June on a tryout basis, posted to social media a photo Tuesday of him signing a contract, and the team announced the deal not long after. It was not immediately clear what the corresponding roster move would be to add Wallace.
The soon-to-be 28-year-old missed the second half of last season after injuring his right ankle Nov. 3 in Seattle’s overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He made 15 tackles and forced a fumble during his nine games with the Seahawks before landing on injured reserve.
Wallace is expected to compete for a reserve spot behind starters Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin and could contribute on special teams.
A fourth-round pick by Philadelphia in 2020 out of Clemson, Wallace spent his first three NFL seasons with the Eagles and has also played for Arizona and Tennessee. He has appeared in 75 regular-season and playoff games, starting 19 of them.
