When New York Giants tight end Larry Donnell sustained a season-ending neck injury last year, there was some concern over whether it might threaten his career. On Tuesday, Donnell got the good news that it would not.
The Giants announced Tuesday that Donnell has been cleared by team medical personnel to resume his football career and that he has signed his restricted free-agent tender. Donnell is able to join in the Giants' offseason program, which began last week, and projects as the team's starting tight end for 2016.
Donnell, 27, broke out in 2014 with 63 catches for 623 yards and six touchdowns.
