Giants Sign Veteran Guard Adam Snyder, Place Geoff Schwartz On IR
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The Giants desperately need help on the offensive line.
With general manager Jerry Reese well aware of that, Big Blue has signed 6-foot-6, 325-pound guard Adam Snyder.
The veteran has started 62 games since the 2008 season. A third-round draft pick out of Oregon in 2005, he played for the 49ers from 2005-2011 and the Cardinals in 2012.
Adam Snyder started at least one game at all 5 spots on OL in his career. Best fit is guard. Competition/insurance for Mosley/Jerry. #NYG

The 32-year-old returned to San Francisco in 2013 but was cut this past weekend when the team trimmed its roster down to 53.
New York's line took a big hit when high-priced free agent Geoff Schwartz suffered a dislocated right toe in a preseason game against the Jets on August 22. The guard has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, and likely won't make his season debut until Week 9.
Schwartz can return to practice after Week 6 and he will be eligible to play in his first game Week 9 on Monday night against the Colts #NYG
