Giants Waive WR Bennie Fowler

The Giants announced on Tuesday they have waived WR Bennie Fowler from the roster. 

This is the second time New York has cut Fowler this season. 

Fowler, 28, wound up signing on with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State in May of 2014. He was unable to make the 53-man roster during his rookie season, but later wound up on their practice squad and returned on a future/reserve contract.

The Broncos brought Fowler back on one-year exclusive rights deals the next two years, but declined to tender him a contract as a restricted free agent in 2018. He had brief stints with the Bears and Patriots before signing on with the Giants.

New York brought Fowler back this offseason before releasing him in October. After injuries hit the Giants receiving corps, New York re-signed Fowler a few weeks later. 

In 2019, Fowler has appeared in eight games for the Giants and caught 23 passes for 193 yards receiving and no touchdowns. He has also rushed for 20 yards.
