The Giants hosted Abernathy (knee) for a workout Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Abernathy ended the 2024 season on the Falcons' injured reserve due to a knee injury. He appears to have fully recovered from the injury, and he'll work out with teams looking to add depth to the secondary.

Head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Abernathy (knee) will likely miss "a significant amount of time," Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Abernathy played just three special-teams snaps before exiting Sunday's win over the Panthers with a knee injury. Morris' comments Monday indicate that Abernathy's injury is significant, so the 27-year-old safety could be a candidate for injured reserve.

Rotowire
Abernathy is expected to make the Falcons' initial 53-man roster, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Abernathy, a 2022 UDFA, made 12 regular-season appearances for the Falcons in 2023, totaling 23 defensive snaps and 273 special-team snaps. While Abernathy's main role is expected to be on special teams, DeMarcco Hellams' long-term ankle injury may open up more secondary snaps early in 2024. Abernathy recorded four tackles (three solo) during Atlanta's preseason opener.
