Let go by Giants

Simmons was released by the Giants on Saturday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Analysis: Simmons had one last opportunity to prove his worth in Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, and while he did rush 11 times for 41 yards, it looks like it was too little too late for the tailback. He may be a candidate to return as a member of the Giants' practice squad.

Totals 43 yards in preseason finale

Simmons rushed 11 times for 41 yards during Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots. He also secured one of two targets for two yards receiving.

Analysis: It was good to see Simmons running around after missing last week's preseason game with a concussion. However, the running back is firmly on the roster bubble and may not have been impressive enough Thursday to make a serious case for why the Giants should carry four running backs on the 53-man roster in advance of Week 1.
