The New York Giants waived running back David Wilson on Wednesday and announced the signing of center Brett Jones, the best lineman in the Canadian Football League.

Wilson, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2012, suffered a serious neck injury in 2013 and missed last season after suffering symptoms in training camp. The 23-year-old is not expected to try to play football again.

The Giants will save about $1.3 million in salary cap space via his release.

Assuming he makes the team, Jones will be blocking for returning running backs Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams.

Jones, 6 feet 2 and 315 pounds, was the CFL’s rookie of the year in 2013 and was named its best lineman last year.

“It has always been a goal and a dream of mine to play in the NFL,” Jones said in a statement released by the team. “This is the first step, and I look forward to taking many more.”
