Garrett fired as Giants offensive coordinator

The New York Giants have fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after a dreadful performance in a nationally televised game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Giants (3-7) tweeted the decision Tuesday afternoon, saying the former Dallas Cowboys head coach had been relieved of his duties.

There was no immediate word who would replace Garrett for the game Sunday at Metlife Stadium against the Philadelphia Eagles (5-6). Former Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is on the staff and could take over.

■ Titans: Tennessee waived 2012 NFL MVP Adrian Peterson after three games in a flurry of roster moves Tuesday.

The Titans signed running back Dontrell Hilliard from the practice squad to replace Peterson. They also signed defensive back Buster Skrine and brought back outside linebacker john Simon. They also placed defensive back Chris Jackson (foot) and wide receiver Marcus Johnson on injured reserve.

■ Saints: Tight end Adam Trautman and rookie offensive lineman Landon Young were placed on injured reserve. Trautman injured his knee and Young hurt his foot during Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia.

■ Falcons: Atlanta signed former longtime New Orleans punter Thomas Morstead to their active roster on Tuesday.

The move came after Atlanta placed punter Dustin Colquitt on the reserve COVID-19 list on Monday.

■ Jets: Zach Wilson will return as the New York Jets’ starting quarterback Sunday against the Texans in Houston, according to a person with direct knowledge of the decision.

The No. 2 overall pick in April missed the past four games with a sprained posterior collateral ligament in his right knee.
