Giants waived RB Da'Rel Scott.
It's a surprising move, and a vote of confidence in shaky starter David Wilson. It's a sign the Giants are ready to start using Wilson in more passing situations. It leaves the G-Men with just used-up veteran Brandon Jacobs and practice-squad type Michael Cox behind Wilson. Scott rushed five times for 26 yards against the Chiefs on Sunday, but was averaging only 3.5 yards per carry. That number slumps to 3.0 for his career.
Fozzy Whittaker, a rookie cut by the San Diego Chargers. He was the 6th best punt returner through the first 4 games of the season and is considered a change of pace back. He put up a pretty good average ypc during the preseason with a lot of carries.
He was the 4th RB on their depth chart and they needed to make room for an offensive tackle. With Danny Woodhead coming back into the mix they were planning to put Woodhead in on returns. They thought they could roster him back on the practice squad, but the browns nabbed him.
The Browns are stealing every RB with special teams return ability that teams try to sneak on their pratice squad. My ravens still want back Bobby Rainey.

if he was that good at punt returns why cut him?
