Ryan Anderson: Works out for Tennessee
The Titans brought in Anderson (suspension) for a tryout Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Anderson was suspended for the first six games of last season for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. However, the 255-pound linebacker was released by the Giants ahead of the 2021 regular season, and he did not play again until signing with the Steelers this past October. Anderson then recorded one tackle while playing 27 defensive snaps over five games with Pittsburgh, though he was eventually let go in early November.

Giants' Ryan Anderson: Suspended six games
Anderson was suspended for six games Saturday for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
If Anderson makes the team, the linebacker will not be eligible to return to the active roster until Oct. 18.

Giants' Ryan Anderson: Re-signs with Giants
Anderson signed a new contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The Giants waiving Anderson on Monday was only due to an issue with his contract. Cutting and re-signing the linebacker was a way for the Giants to fix the wrinkle in the contract. Anderson played nine games for the Washington Football Team last season, recording nine tackles. He figures to play a depth role for the Giants if he makes the final roster.

The severity of Anderson's injury isn't yet clear, but he'll be unavailable to begin camp. The 26-year-old dealt with a knee injury last year and played 145 defensive snaps in nine games with Washington. Once he's cleared to practice, he should compete for a depth role with his new team.

Giants' Ryan Anderson: Signing with Big Blue
Anderson (knee) is signing a one-year contract with the Giants, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
The deal includes a $137,500 signing bonus and qualifies for the veteran salary benefit, so Anderson should have the inside track for a spot on the Week 1 roster. A 2017 second-round pick, he started just four of his 52 regular-season games in Washington, recording 86 tackles, 15 QB hits and six sacks. Anderson flashed some potential in 2019 with five forced fumbles and four sacks, but between a knee injury and tougher competition for playing time, he played just 145 defensive snaps in nine games in 2020. He missed the final seven weeks of the season, but there hasn't been any report of him needing surgery.

Football Team's Ryan Anderson: Shifts to IR
Anderson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Anderson already missed the last three games. Now, he won't be eligible to play until a Week 17 matchup against the Eagles. Ryan Kerrigan has handled more work as the primary backup to Chase Young and Montez Sweat, and that rotation figures to remain intact for the time being. If Anderson doesn't return this season, he'll finish with nine tackles over nine games. He'll be a free agent in March.
