The New York Giants need all the help they can get at the linebacker position after losing rookie Ryan Connelly to a torn ACL against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Wisconsin product looked stellar in his first season in the NFL, consistently making tackles and showing improvement with every passing game.
We can hope to see him feature in a starting role next season alongside a capable option not named Alec Ogletree or Tae Davis. However, both Ogletree and Davis will return from injuries this week against the New England Patriots in what will be a difficult matchup given the unavailability of offensive studs Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, and Evan Engram.
