Giants’ rookie edge defender still has hurdles to clear
Kayvon Thibodeaux said Thursday that he is “very optimistic” about the possibility he could make his NFL debut for the New York Giants on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
The Giants played their season opener without their two starting edge defenders. Thibodeaux, the No. 5 overall pick in the draft, is working back from a sprained MCL. Azeez Ojulari, the 2021 second-round pick who led the team in sacks last year, is dealing with a calf injury.
