Quarterback Nathan Rourke wasn't out of a job for long after being claimed off waivers by the New York Giants on Tuesday, NFL Network reported.

Rourke was waived by New England on Monday as the Patriots trimmed the quarterbacks on their roster to four.

The Giants are adding Rourke, who turns 26 on May 24, to a QB room that already has incumbent Daniel Jones, Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito.

Rourke has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game after spending time on the Jacksonville Jaguars' active and practice squad rosters since January 2022. The Jaguars waived him in December and he was claimed by the Patriots, who re-signed him in March.

A native of Canada, he played in college at the University of Ohio (2017-19) and appeared in 23 games for the Canadian Football League's BC Lions from 2021-22, throwing for 4,103 yards with 28 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
