Thorson was signed to the Giants' practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The quarterback was signed to the Giants' practice squad Saturday and will likely operate as a reserve option behind Jake Fromm in Week 18 as both Daniel Jones (neck) and Mike Glennon (wrist) will be unavailable. Thorson has spent a large portion of the season with the Giants, allowing him to fill in if needed against Washington on Sunday.

Thorson visited the Giants on Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: The Giants are depleted at quarterback with both Daniel Jones (neck) and Mike Glennon (wrist) ruled out. Thus, while Thorson has not yet signed with the team, he'll reportedly serve as insurance in case Jake Fromm is unable to suit up for an unforeseen reason. Thorson spent much of training camp and parts of this season with the Giants practice squad, so he should be familiar with the offense if he is forced into action.

The Giants cut Thorson from their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: With Daniel Jones (neck) doubtful and Mike Glennon (concussion) questionable for Week 14, the Giants elected to sign Thorson to their practice squad to provide emergency depth at quarterback. However, with both of the aforementioned signal callers progressing well ahead of Week 15, Thorson finds himself as the odd man out. In a corresponding move, the Giants signed Woodrow Hamilton to their practice squad.

Analysis: The fifth-round pick didn't impress with the Eagles this preseason and got cut as a result, but the Dallas scouting department saw enough potential in him to bring him aboard.
