The Giants worked out former SMU safety Ahmaad Moses on Monday, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Moses — who had spinal fusion surgery after a herniated disc was found during his combine MRI — has been recently cleared.

The New York Giants worked out former SMU safety Ahmaad Moses on Monday at The Greenbrier, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported, citing a league source. The workout comes after Moses underwent spinal fusion surgery — a procedure that typically ends careers before they start — following the discovery of a herniated disc during an MRI at the NFL combine earlier this year.

Fowler, who broke the news at 5:26 PM ET on July 27, noted that Moses has been recently cleared.

Spinal fusion is not a routine procedure. It eliminates motion between vertebrae permanently, and for a prospect hoping to absorb NFL-level contact from day one, being cleared to work out is the first real checkpoint, not the finish line. The fact that a team is willing to bring Moses in this deep into camp suggests either strong pre-injury tape or a specific need in the secondary.

The Giants' safety room heading into Harbaugh's first season is headlined by Jevón Holland, the prize acquisition from Miami, flanked by Tyler Nubin (Minnesota, third-year), Jason Pinnock, Ar'Darius Washington, and Raheem Layne. Five safeties is a reasonable camp roster, but practice squad depth at the position is another question — and an undrafted prospect who cleared a major surgery at a position with already-tight margins fits that calculus.

Moses went unselected in the 2026 draft. He has not signed with any team.
