Things have seemingly come full circle for the New York Giants and Julian Love in terms of the starting free safety role.
Love was initially slated to start in that spot after impressing during the backend of his 2019 rookie campaign. That narrative concluded, however, when the team drafted Alabama safety Xavier McKinney in April’s second round (No. 36 overall).
But on Wednesday, it was revealed that McKinney, one of the steals of this year’s draft, fractured his foot. He could be out for 10 weeks, which would force him to miss much of his inaugural season in the NFL.
