The New York Giants officially placed safety Landon Collins (torn labrum on injured reserve Thursday. To take his place on the roster, the Giants promoted 26-year-old safety Kenny Ladler from their practice squad.
Ladler, out of Vanderbilt, played two games for the Buffalo Bills in 2014 after making the team as an undrafted free agent. He played five games earlier this season for the Washington Redskins, the Giants’ opponent this Sunday. He has never started an NFL game and was used exclusively on special teams by Washington.
