Skinner was waived by the Titans on Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner spent his previous two seasons bouncing between the Giants' 53-man roster and its practice squad. After getting let go in February, he was unable to land with another team until the Titans gave him a shot last week. However, his time with the team will be short-lived, as they have opted go in a different direction. The 27-year-old will now be forced to look for a new opportunity.

Skinner (hamstring) was waived by the Giants on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner ended the season on injured reserve after injuring his hamstring in late November, and he was set to be a restricted free agent this offseason. However, with the Giants electing to waive him, they forfeit any of those rights and the linebacker will now be unrestricted heading into free agency.

The Giants placed Skinner (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner exited last Thursday's loss to the Redskins, and while the specifics of the injury remain undisclosed, his 2017 season is over. Akeem Ayers should serve as the primary reserve weakside linebackers, but the Giants may need to do some additional shuffling given that they have placed six linebackers on IR this season.

Skinner (hamstring) will not return to Thursday's Thanksgiving tilt versus the Redskins, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner injured his hamstring mid-way through the first quarter. While the severity of the issue is not known at this time, it is enough to keep him sidelined. Akeem Ayers and Kelvin Sheppard will presumably continue see increased snaps in his absence.

Skinner is considered questionable to return to Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Redskins due to a hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner went down mid-way through the first quarter. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time. The Giants are already spread thin at linebacker, so backups Akeem Ayers and Kelvin Sheppard figure to see even more snaps should Skinner ultimately be unable to return.

The Giants signed Skinner to a contract Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skinner had landed with the Raiders' practice squad after the Giants waived him earlier this season. With three linebackers on the Giants' active roster nursing injuries and Nigel Harris (ribs) moving to injured reserve, Skinner will be brought back to address depth at the position. Unless all of Jonathan Casillas (neck), Keenan Robinson (quadriceps) and B.J. Goodson (ankle) are ruled out for the Week 10 game against the 49ers, don't expect Skinner to see significant snaps on defense.
