The New York Giants parted ways with wide receiver Cole Beasley on Friday, coach Brian Daboll confirmed.
The 34-year-old veteran had requested his release from the practice squad, according to NFL Network.
Beasley joined the Giants ahead of training camp and began the season on injured reserve with a quad injury.
“Got a lot of respect for Cole,” Daboll said. “Just decided that — kind of both parties had a good conversation, and he won’t be on the practice squad.”
Beasley was designated for return from IR on Oct. 10 but never played a snap for New York.
He has 556 catches for 5,744 yards and 34 touchdowns in 153 games (51 starts) with the Dallas Cowboys (2012-18), Buffalo Bills (2019-22) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2022).
