Hixon Clears Waivers, Placed On IR

Updating an earlier post on the Giants dropping Domenik Hixon, Hixon cleared waivers and was put on the Injured Reserve list by the team.

The Giants could have put Hixon directly on Injured Reserve, but his salary would have been counted against the team’s training camp salary. By letting him pass through waivers, his salary is now off the the Giants cap but remains property of the team.
