Halapio (Achilles) declined a practice squad offer from the Giants on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants cut Halapio amid roster trims and hoped to bring him back to the practice squad, but the veteran center appears to be looking for a fresh start. The fact that he recently logged a workout with the Texans is an indication that he's healthy. However, Halapio is just eight months removed from an Achilles tear, so teams may wait until he's logged a few more months of rehab to sign him.

Halapio (Achilles) signed a contract with the Giants on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Halapio was let go by the team this offseason after Giants failed to tender him a contract. The veteran is coming off a torn Achilles that he suffered in December of 2019, so it's not likely that he'll be ready to suit up for game action in 2020.

Halapio (Achilles) wasn't tendered a contract by the Giants and is now an unrestricted free agent, Matt Lombardo of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old suffered a torn Achilles in the season finale and wouldn't be able to pass a physical, so the Giants opted not to tender him a contract as a restricted free agent. Halapio has no official timeline for his return but there's a chance he misses a significant chunk of the season, dampening his outlook as a free agent.

Halapio suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Halapio was carted off the field during the game, so it was immediately apparent that the injury could be serious. The center is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, so it will be interesting to see what becomes of Halapio with a long road of recovery ahead of him. For the time being, Spencer Pulley will slot in as the No. 1 center on the Giants depth chart.

Halapio was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
With less than five minutes remaining in the game and a double-digit deficit in hand, the Giants lost their starting center. It's unclear exactly what forced Halapio out of the contest, but those details will likely surface following the game. The 28-year-old Halapio will be a restricted free agent in March.

Halapio (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis

Halapio (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Pat Shurmur said Thursday that Halapio (hamstring) is a "ways away" from retaking the field, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shurmur's comments don't bode well for Halapio's chances of suiting up versus the Jets on Sunday. The sixth-year pro was unable to practice Wednesday, and he appears to be trending toward another "DNP" designation on Thursday's injury report. In the event that Halapio is forced to miss time, expect Spencer Pulley to draw the start at center.

Halapio (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a negative sign for Halapio's status for Sunday's shared home game against the Jets. If the sixth-year pro is unable to play, established backup Spencer Pulley will get the nod.

Halapio (leg) recently indicated he's been medically cleared, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Halapio broke his leg in Week 2 of last season, but it seems he wrapped up his rehab well before the start of offseason workouts. The soon-to-be 28-year-old is the favorite to start at center for the Giants in advance of the 2019 regular season.
