Although the New York Giants defense has played well this season, the best might be yet to come. On Saturday, the organization activated safety Xavier McKinney and linebacker Tae Crowder off injured reserve.
McKinney will make his long-awaited NFL debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie was the team’s second-round draft choice this year and was on injured reserve since Sept. 6 after fracturing his foot in training camp.
The versatile McKinney is expected to join a safety rotation that includes Jabrill Peppers, Logan Ryan, and second-year man Julian Love.
