Giants placing cornerback Paulson Adebo on IR with knee injury
This will be two straight seasons during which Adebo has missed time with a knee issue.
The New York Giants have placed cornerback Paulson Adebo on injured reserve due to a knee injury, head coach John Harbaugh revealed on Friday at practice. Adebo, who is in the second year of a three-year, $54 million deal, struggled during the spring and summer and did not start in the team's Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys, where Greg Newsome and Deonte Banks took his place.
In fact, Adebo only played 10 snaps in that match. Last season, Adebo missed five games due to a knee injury. Despite being expected to become the team's top cornerback when he signed with the Giants, Adebo has not met those expectations. In response to Adebo's injury, the Giants signed cornerback Nikko Reed off the Los Angeles Chargers' practice squad on Monday, effectively taking his roster spot.
Additionally, the team added cornerback Jaden Robinson to the practice squad, while offensive tackle Ryan Schernecke was dropped. Bank's practice participation was limited due to a calf injury, while defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson missed practice due to a personal matter.
