We now know what a “long-term” injury for New York Giants linebacker Jarrad Davis means, as reported last week. Per ESPN’s Field Yates, the Giants on Tuesday placed Davis on injured reserve, which means that he will automatically miss the entire 2023 season.
Davis was slated to have a big role in the Giants’ defense as one of their possible starters at off-ball linebacker. He re-signed on a one-year deal for the veteran minimum after coming over from the Lions’ practice squad in 2023. However, an offseason knee surgery now knocks him out, leaving the Giants a roster spot short just a week before training camp.
