The New York Giants are bringing back one of the stalwarts of their offensive line.
In an anticipated move, the Giants announced Tuesday they've picked up the fifth-year contract option on offensive lineman Justin Pugh.
Pugh, 25, started 12 games at left guard and two at tackle last season. He's started in 44 games for the Giants since being selected by Big Blue in the first round of the 2013 draft out of Syracuse.
