Roster moves: Giants place RB Orleans Darkwa on IR, add S Eric Pinkins

For weeks now we have been wondering why the New York Giants hadn’t been using Orleans Darkwa on the offense.

Tuesday evening we seem to have gotten our answer.

Jordan Ranaan is reporting that the running back is headed to injured reserve with a leg injury.

Orleans Darkwa likely headed to IR, per source. Been dealing w/leg injury. Helps Vereen's return is on horizon, though not likely this week.

The decision to move Darkwa to the injured reserve might also be influenced by the concussion suffered by Nat Berhe against the Cleveland Browns.
