Kayvon Thibodeaux Placed on Injured Reserve

The New York Giants have placed linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux on injured reserve following wrist surgery, which will sideline him for at least four weeks. Thibodeaux suffered a broken scaphoid bone during a Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, and his absence is significant as he was a key contributor with two sacks and seven quarterback hits this season. To fill his roster spot, the Giants signed veteran punter Matt Haack after Jamie Gillan was ruled out due to injury. Head coach Brian Daboll expressed initial optimism about Thibodeaux's recovery but confirmed that the team expects a recovery timeline of four to six weeks. The Giants have also elevated running back Dante Miller and wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins from their practice squad for upcoming games. With Thibodeaux out, Azeez Ojulari may have the opportunity to step up in the pass rush, which has already shown improvement this season, leading the league in sacks.
