Giants Trim Roster; Jets Stick With Folk

GIANTS TRIM ROSTER TO 85 The Giants placed wide receiver Ramses Barden and center Adam Koets on the physically unable to perform list, meaning neither player will be eligible until at least Week 7 of the season.

The Giants also put defensive tackle Marvin Austin (torn pectoral muscle) on injured reserve and waived wide receiver Duke Calhoun, bringing their roster to 85 players. SAM BORDEN

JETS SPECIAL TEAMS IN PLACE Two of the Jets’ special-teams competitions ended when Coach Rex Ryan retained Nick Folk as their kicker and tabbed T. J. Conley as the team’s punter. The incumbent Folk, who has converted 4 of 5 field goals this preseason, beat out Nick Novak, who was released. Conley has no N.F.L. experience, but he outshined Chris Bryan, averaging 46.4 yards per punt.
