Giants' Lawrence Cager: Leading receiver in loss
Cager caught eight of 10 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
With the Giants resting most of their starters for Week 18 after having been eliminated from the playoffs, Cager wound up being starting QB Davis Webb's favorite option on the afternoon, leading the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. It was a career-best performance for the journeyman tight end, but he'll remain a depth option for whatever team brings him aboard in 2023.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Remains inactive
Cager (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles.
Cager will be sidelined for the second consecutive week. With Daniel Bellinger now healthy, and the former also currently behind Nick Vannett and Chris Myarick on the team's positional depth chart, Cager will likely need an injury, or to prove himself in practice to earn a chance to suit up Week 15 against the Commanders.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Healthy scratch Sunday
Cager (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Commanders.
Cager will be the odd man out with Daniel Bellinger (eye) returning from a multi-week absence. His next opportunity to play will be Week 14 against the Eagles.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Catches one pass Thursday
Cager reeled in one of two targets for 20 yards Thursday in the Giants' 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.
In the continued absence of Daniel Bellinger (eye), Cager remained the Giants' top tight-end option, logging 26 offensive snaps. However, work at the position was spread out fairly evenly in the contest, with Chris Myarick gaining 23 yards on one reception while logging 22 offensive snaps and Tanner Hudson recording one catch for 10 yards on 12 offensive snaps. None of the three has been consistently productive during Bellinger's absence, and with the rookie tight end nearing a return, it's likely only a matter of time before Cager sees his meager opportunities take a hit.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Joins active roster
The Giants signed Cager off their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
The Giants have used the maximum allotment of three elevations from the practice squad on Cager, meaning a move to the active roster was required for him to be available moving forward. With Daniel Bellinger (eye) sidelined, Cager has been New York's primary tight end the last two contests, earning at least 66 percent of the snaps per game and combined for a 4-29-1 line on five targets. Expect Cager to continue getting most of the TE snaps between him, Tanner Hudson and Chris Myarick on Thursday at Dallas.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Goes back to practice squad
Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The 25-year-old was elevated for the third game in a row, as he continued to serve as the Giants' top tight end with Daniel Bellinger (eye) still sidelined Week 11. As a result, Cager logged season highs in receptions (two), receiving yards (20) and targets (three) while playing the vast majority of New York's offensive snaps (56) ahead of Tanner Hudson (12) and Chris Myarick (eight). While this outing marked Cager's last available elevation from the Giants' practice squad, he's likely played himself into a spot on the team's active roster.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Records 20 receiving yards in loss
Cager caught two passes on three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Lions.
Cager didn't do anything exceptional on offense, but he was the only Giants tight end with a target in the contest. The 25-year-old has emerged as New York's top tight end with four catches for 29 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks, but his opportunities could take a significant hit if Daniel Bellinger (eye) is able to return to action on Thanksgiving against Dallas.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Elevated to active roster
The Giants elevated Cager from their practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Cager will be active for a third straight game. The undrafted tight end caught both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown across 44 offensive snaps in Week 10. It appears Cager has jumped ahead of Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson on the depth chart during Daniel Bellinger's (eye) absence, but his fantasy potential is likely still dependent on finding the end zone.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Lands back on practice squad
Cager reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The fourth-year tight end was elevated for the second straight week during Sunday's win over Houston, playing 45 of the Giants' 69 offensive snaps ahead of Chris Myarick (16) and Tanner Hudson (11). With Daniel Bellinger still out due to an eye injury, Cager has quickly risen up the Giants' tight-end depth chart since joining the team's practice squad Oct. 18, as he caught both targets for nine yards and a touchdown against the Texans. Cager figures to continue suiting up so long as Bellinger remains sidelined, though he'll only be eligible for one more practice-squad elevation before requiring a full roster spot moving forward.

Giants' Lawrence Cager: Scores first NFL touchdown
Cager hauled in both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Texans.
Prior to Sunday, Cager had seen action in only two games this season and hadn't caught a pass since his rookie 2020 campaign. As such, it's reasonable to assume that few people had the 25-year-old tabbed as scoring the game's first touchdown, but that's just what he did when he hauled in a nine-yard score midway through the first quarter. Cager has been activated from the practice squad for each of New York's past two games, but it's uncertain if he'll have a role if Daniel Bellinger (eye) returns to action in Week 11.
