The New York Giants announced the signing of tight end Bear Pascoe to the active roster.

Linebacker Bryan Kehl has been waived.

A sixth-round pick (184th overall) out of Fresno State by the San Francisco 49ers in 2009, Pascoe (6-5, 251) spent much of his rookie season on the Giants' practice squad before being activated in Week 13. Pascoe caught one pass for 9 yards and made two special teams tackles last season.

Starting tight end Kevin Boss has a concussion, which left the injury-prone Travis Beckum as the lone healthy tight end on the 53-man roster. Pascoe is a solid blocker, an area that the leaner Beckum has struggled with.
