The New York Giants announced early on Saturday that they were placing wide receiver/kick returner Jawill Davis on injured reserve with a knee injury.
Turns out, the injury was a self-inflicted one. Davis apparently dislocated a kneecap while dancing in the team’s locker room on Saturday. Wide receiver Alonzo Russell has been promoted from the practice squad to replace Davis.
A rookie undrafted free agent, Davis caught four passes in seven games. He averaged 24.4 yards on seven kickoff returns and 7.4 yards on 12 punt returns.
