All of MetLife Stadium held its breath Sunday night. In the second quarter of the Giants-Bengals preseason matchup, Big Blue outside linebacker and No. 5 overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux attempted to shed a low cut block from Bengals tight end Thaddeus Moss, only to buckle and fall to the ground shortly after. A dirty hit from the young Moss, indeed.
Thibodeaux was holding his knee in obvious pain and didn’t return following that snap. However, it seems the fanbase can breathe (for now).
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Thibodeaux suffered an MCL sprain but the ACL is intact.
