The New York Giants are sending rookie inside linebacker Tae Crowder to injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Crowder sustained this health-related setback in the midst of the team’s Week 6 win over Washington, a game in which he scooped a Kyle Allen fumble late in the fourth quarter and returned it for the go-ahead touchdown.
The 2020 NFL Draft’s Mr. Irrelevant will miss at least the Week 7, 8, and 9 matchups against the Eagles, Buccaneers, and Washington, respectively. After that, the Giants will possess the opportunity to designate Crowder for return and then a 21-day period to activate him from injured reserve once they do so.
