Less than a week after being signed to the New York Giants practice squad, veteran linebacker Benardrick McKinney is being elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
That news comes on the heels of the Giants announcing that starting inside linebacker Tae Crowder has been added to the team’s injury report with a thigh injury. Crowder is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
The Giants are already without leading tackler and signal-caller Blake Martinez, out for the year with a torn ACL. Crowder has been calling defensive signals in his absence.
