EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants signed defensive tackle Josh Tupou on Wednesday, adding depth at the position a little less than a week since losing starter Roy Robertson-Harris .
The team has now fully turned over its interior defensive line by trading Dexter Lawrence and signing Tupou, D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris . Robertson-Harris torn an Achilles tendon last week during an offseason workout practice.

Tupou, who turned 32 on May 2, has been a career backup who has made spot starts over the past eight years in the NFL. After spending much of that time with Cincinnati , he played the past two seasons with now-Giants coach John Harbaugh in Baltimore .
Also Wednesday, New York signed No. 10 pick Francis "Sisi" Mauigoa . That leaves No. 5 pick Arvell Reese as the only unsigned member of the draft class.
