The edge rusher position for the New York Giants is under extreme depletion.
According to Michael Eisen of the team’s official website, the Giants are placing Kyler Fackrell on injured reserve. Fackrell suffered a calf injury during Sunday’s Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and exited the contest early. He only took part on 23 defensive snaps — a season-low for him.
Fackrell will now miss at least the next three games, a stint that includes matchups with the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Browns.
At the beginning of the year, the Giants were rich with depth at the edge rusher spot, fielding a healthy Fackrell, Lorenzo Carter, Oshane Ximines, and Markus Golden.
