The preseason is over. The undefeated New York Giants now have to trim their roster from 90 to 53 players by Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 4 p.m. ET. Here is my final prediction regarding what that initial 53-man roster might look like.

NY Giants 53-man Roster Projection
The Top 51 rule that’s been in effect for the preseason (which allowed for rosters to grow to the 90-man max) ends on August 31, the official final day of training camp. At that point, all players, including those on the 53-man roster, the practice squad, and any reserve lists, will count toward the salary cap.
New York Giants fans showered QB Tommy DeVito with a standing ovation in what could have been his final game in blue.
Rookie cornerback TJ Moore suffered a devastating right leg injury shortly after he had one of his best moments in the Giants’ 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots on Thursday.
This game, however, wasn’t about whether the Giants won or loss. This was about players on the bubble making the final roster, and two players put themselves in the spotlight. Both WR/ST Gunner Olszewski and iDL D.J. Davidson put an exclamation point on their respective cases to make the Giants’ 53-man roster.
Jalin Hyatt didn’t find any solace in his make-up touchdown. Needing to solidify not only his offseason standing as the Giants’ No. 4 receiver but his roster spot ahead of cut day, Hyatt flashed his rare speed Thursday and snared a 27-yard touchdown pass from Jameis Winston in the first quarter of a 42-10 victory against the Patriots.
Heliot Ramos leads the Giants with a .263 batting average, and has 22 doubles, a triple, 15 home runs, 43 walks and 53 RBIs. Jung Hoo Lee is 12 for 36 with a home run and an RBI over the past 10 games.
