Giants Activate Kayvon Thibodeaux, Waive Daniel Jones

The New York Giants activated linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux from injured reserve, allowing him to potentially play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12 after missing five games due to a wrist injury. This move comes alongside the official waiver of quarterback Daniel Jones, marking the end of his tenure with the team, while the Giants signed quarterback Tim Boyle from their practice squad as a backup option. Thibodeaux, the former fifth overall pick, has recorded two sacks in five games this season and will enhance a Giants defense that is strong against the pass but struggles against the run. The Giants are currently positioned at 2-8 and are looking to improve their performance with Thibodeaux's return. The roster changes highlight a broader shift within the team as they seek to regroup for upcoming games. Jones, who expressed a desire to leave the team, is reportedly at peace with the decision.
