The Giants are required to have 53 players on their active list by 6 pm ET today. Here are the roster moves that they have been reported to have made today thus far today according to various tweets from Giants' Beat Reporters and players:

UPDATE: 2:55 pm ET
Tyler Sash was actually waived/injured as a result of the concussion he received in the last preseason game in New Englanf according to this tweet by Ralph Vacciano below:

The only mild surprise of the 10 roster moves announced so far is the release of Tyler Sash. He suffered a concussion two nights ago in the last preseason game in New England on Thursday, August 29th. The resulting Dead Money of his release is $19,670 for this season, and another $19,670 for next season (2014). It could be interesting to see if Sash was waived/injured, possibly resulting in an injury settlement. We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully, it was just a one or two week type of thing. The only other Dead Money that has resulted so far is as a result of the release of Ramses Barden. The Giants will suffer an added dead money hit in 2013 for the amount of $65,000 due to releasing him (there isn't any dead money added onto the 2014 total as a result of this roster move). So far, the added dead money total for 2013 as a result of thew moves is $84,670 (Sash and Barden). The added dead money total in 2014 is only $19,670 (for Sash alone).

Sash, like the other players listed here, other than WR Ramses Barden who is a free agent as of now, will be available to be claimed by other teams on waivers. Teams have until tomorrow at 12 pm to claim them, otherwise they become free agents, and will be completely free to sign with the club of their choice. At that point, teams will start to build their 8-man Practice Squad. 5 of the 8 players who were waived are eligible to go on the Practice Squad (James, Broha, Frederick, James, & McCants). To see the list of Practice Squad eligible Giants, click HERE:

• The Giants have 12 more roster moves to make in roughly the next 4 and a half hours until the 6 pm ET deadline.
• I'll try and update them here as they are leaked via twitter, and/or one of the other various seemingly countless mediums of communication we have in existence today.

P.S. On a sidenote, there are two moves made so far today out of these ten that are out of whack with my final roster projection for today. they are the cutting of CB Charles James (waived), and that of SS Tyler Sash (also waived). I had projected them both to the 53-man roster today. I think that if James clears waivers at 12 pm ET tomorrow that he'll be the first guy the Giants call to offer a job on their Practice Squad. Sash might also get a call if they need numbers at safety for week 1 if he's still available.
