The NY Giants designated rookie defensive back Xavier McKinney and edge rusher Oshane Ximines to return from injured reserve Monday

The NY Giants could be getting a significant boost ahead of a stretch run that could determine whether New York wins the NFC East and makes the postseason or gets an early start on building their draft board.

Monday, the NY Giants designated rookie safety Xavier McKinney and pass-rusher Oshane Ximines to return from injured reserve, allowing both players to return to practice and beginning their respective 21-day clocks to decide whether they can return to the active roster or revert to the season-ending injured reserve.
