The New York Giants learned some disturbing news on Wednesday afternoon. Rookie safety Xavier McKinney was diagnosed with a fractured left foot, which will keep him out for a majority of the 2020 season. While it is possible he does see the field later on in the campaign, the expectation is that the Giants will have to move on without him.
In addition to McKinney, linebacker David Mayo also suffered a torn meniscus. While reports indicate he could only miss a few weeks as they will trim the injured meniscus, it is an injury that forces the Giants to adapt with unreliable talent in the reserves.
