EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants switched punters Saturday, keeping Steve Weatherford and cutting Matt Dodge, while putting cancer survivor Mark Herzlich on their 53-man roster.
How long Herzlich stays with the club remains to seen, but the Boston College linebacker who was signed as a free agent after failing to be drafted can at least say he survived the final cut.
It is clear that Herzlich was on the roster bubble, and teams always make moves before their season opener. So it is uncertain whether he will be on the roster for the season opener at Washington.
The best competition in camp was for the punting job and Weatherford edged Dodge, who was inconsistent as a rookie.
Dodge's biggest mistake was failing to punt out of bounds on the final play in the December meltdown against Philadelphia, a blunder that resulted in DeSean Jackson returning the punt 65-yards for a game-winning touchdown.
