The Giants keep reuniting with offensive linemen.

They signed Tyre Phillips, who was a surprise cut before the season, from the Eagles’ practice squad, as well as Joshua Miles from the Falcons’ practice squad to their active roster Tuesday, The Post confirmed.

The Giants had one opening on the 53-man roster after waiving Jalen Mayfield on Monday, and placed Joshua Ezeudu on injured reserve on Tuesday to create the other opening.

Ezeudu, who had been filling in at left tackle for the injured Andrew Thomas since Week 1, had to be carted off the field with a toe injury during the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

It likely means Justin Pugh, who was elevated from the practice squad and started at left guard before playing left tackle after Ezeudu’s injury during Sunday’s loss, will remain on the practice squad for at least this week.

The Giants can’t protect Pugh from other teams signing him while he’s on the practice squad, as they themselves did Tuesday.

That decision comes as somewhat of a surprise.

The open roster spot was expected to go to Pugh, who performed admirably in his first game since Week 6 of last year, and his first time at left tackle since 2017.

Pugh, who spent his first five seasons in the league with the Giants, who drafted him in the first round in 2013, signed to the Giants’ practice squad on Oct. 4.

Pugh had exclusively played guard the last five years before moving to tackle on Sunday.

Phillips, after spending his first two seasons in the league with the Ravens, started five and played in 12 games for the Giants last year.

He was with the team during training camp before he was a surprise cut, so he knows the Giants’ offensive system well.

Miles has played in 17 total NFL games across two seasons.

Thomas is not likely to be ready for the team’s Week 7 clash against the Commanders, meaning Phillips could slot right in at left tackle if the Giants do not want to start Pugh there.
