The Giants are slated to sign Sweeney, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Over the course of three seasons with the Bills, the 2019 seventh-rounder recorded a total of 18 catches for 165 yards and a TD. The addition of the 27-year-old provides the Giants with added tight end depth behind top options Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger.

Sweeney (coach's decision) has been deemed inactive for Saturday's game against the Bears.
What it means:
Sweeney will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week. The 27-year-old has not logged a target since Week 6, as Quintin Morris has served as the No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox for the majority of the season. Barring injuries to Morris or Knox, it's likely Sweeney could remain inactive for the final two weeks of the regular season as well.

Sweeney went without a target while he was on the field for 23 of the Bills' 56 offensive snaps in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.
What it means:
Active for just the second time all season while top tight end Dawson Knox (foot) was sidelined, Sweeney served as the Bills' No. 2 option at the position while Quintin Morris drew the start. Morris (three receptions for 39 yards on five targets) proved to be a capable replacement for Knox as a pass catcher and should continue to see the lion's share of the snaps at tight end if Knox should miss further time.

Sweeney's teammate O.J. Howard was released by the Bills on Tuesday.
What it means:
Howard, a 2017 first-rounder, never really shined for the Bills this summer while Sweeney took a big step forward, as he's been praised by the coaching staff for weeks. Unless the Bills bring in a veteran, he's set to serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox, the takeaway being that the former would get plenty of looks in a high-powered offense should Knox ever go down with injury.

Sweeney caught both of his targets for 36 yards during Friday's preseason loss against the Panthers.
What it means:
Sweeney has been praised in camp by the coaching staff for taking a step up in his summer work. He currently sits third on the tight end depth chart, but there's some scuttlebutt that O.J. Howard might be a roster cut. If that happens, Sweeney will make the Week 1 roster for sure, and there's a chance he could make it anyway as a third tight end.

Sweeney (undisclosed) was participating at minicamp Wednesday, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.
What it means:
Sweeney was held out of practice last week due to an unspecified injury, but he's been able to retake the field. The 26-year-old appeared in 13 games for the Bills last season and caught nine passes for 44 yards and one touchdown, and he should enter 2022 as the No. 3 option at tight end behind Dawson Knox and O.J. Howard.
