Giants' Thomas Fidone: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Fidone (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Giants' Thomas Fidone: Catches TD in preseason finale
Rotowire
Fidone caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in a 42-10 preseason win against the Patriots on Thursday.
Fidone's touchdown came on a three-yard strike from Tommy DeVito in the third quarter. However, the tight end's most impressive play was arguably a 28-yard connection with DeVito early in the fourth quarter that finished just shy of the end zone, setting up a one-yard TD pass from DeVito to another tight end (Greg Dulcich). Fidone's performance capped a strong preseason three-game slate during which he caught eight of nine targets for 64 yards. While the Giants have a pretty crowded tight-end room, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post projects Fidone to make the team's initial 53-man roster, potentially as New York's third option at the position behind Theo Johnson and Chris Manhertz in a scenario that includes Daniel Bellinger being moved via trade.

Giants' Thomas Fidone: Joining Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants selected Fidone in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 219th overall.
Fidone started a pair of seasons at Nebraska and compiled 61 catches for 633 yards and four touchdowns over that time after missing 2021 and 2022 due to injuries. He posted solid numbers at the NFL Combine in February, and he's at his best working down the seam. Fidone is set to provide depth at tight end and will need to play special teams to claim a spot on the Giants' 53-man roster coming out of training camp.
