New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple suffered an ankle injury Saturday night against the New York Jets and was ruled out for the remainder of the game, according to the team's official Twitter account.

The 10th overall pick in the 2016 draft had an up-and-down rookie year, appearing in 14 games with 11 starts while making 49 tackles.

Apple grabbed only one interception and was inconsistent in coverage, contributing to a pass defense that ranked just 23rd in the NFL. He also missed time due to injuries to both his hamstring and his groin.
