Fighting through injuries has been normal for the New York Giants this season, with star running back Saquon Barkley suffering a torn ACL and rising pass rusher Lorenzo Carter tearing his Achilles against the Dallas Cowboys.
Across the NFL, injuries have been more prevalent than ever, so it isn’t surprising to see promising young quarterback Ryan Lewis go down with his own injury.
Lewis, who has earned significant reps at CB2 alongside James Bradberry, showed up on the injury report last week and was placed on injured reserve Friday. He suffered a hamstring issue and hadn’t spent any time on the practice field this week, meaning former third-round pick Isaac Yiadom will likely start again against Washington in week nine.
