The New York Giants have a banged up defense. Defensive end Olivier Vernon is out with a high ankle sprain currently, and cornerback Eli Apple has been out since the second game of the season with a groin injury. Before the season even started, Josh Mauro was out at defensive end because of a four game suspension for performance enhancing drugs. Those aren’t the only injuries.
The list is pretty long for this point in the season, but one of these players will make a comeback soon in the week five game against the Panthers. That player is Josh Mauro, who has yet to play a snap for the Giants after following defensive coordinator James Bettcher from the Arizona Cardinals, where he played for the first years of his career after being released from the Steelers, the team he originally signed for as an undrafted free agent.
