The New York Giants signed offensive lineman Geno VanDeMark to the practice squad Wednesday and released defensive back J.T. Woods to open the spot, reports Art Stapleton .
VanDeMark is a Lodi, N.J., product who starred at St. Joseph Regional in Montvale, the same high school that produced Devin and Jason McCourty . After starting his college career at Michigan State, he transferred to Alabama and became a versatile interior lineman who can play guard or center.
The 24-year-old went undrafted in April and signed with the Indianapolis Colts , who guaranteed him $240,000. Indianapolis waived him on August 30 during final cuts.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 314 pounds, VanDeMark played 27 games over two seasons at Alabama and started nine times in 2025 — six at right guard, two at left guard and one at center. He appeared in 18 games with eight starts at Michigan State.
Woods, a 2022 third-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers out of Baylor, had been signed to New York's practice squad August 31 after a training-camp stint.
The move adds interior line depth as the Giants finish assembling their practice squad.
