The Giants placed Layne (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Layne suffered a knee injury during the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, and it is severe enough for him to be placed on IR, which will end his 2024 campaign.

The Giants placed Layne (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Layne suffered a knee injury during the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, and it is severe enough for him to be placed on IR, which will end his 2024 campaign. Layne played for the Giants in Week 15 and 16 and accumulated three solo tackles over that span.
Layne (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. The 25-year-old from Indiana played 27 total snaps (22 defensive and five on special teams) and recorded three total tackles in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. However, it appears he sustained a knee injury in the process, as he was unable to practice throughout the week and is now in line to miss Sunday's contest. Anthony Johnson is likely to serve as the Giants' top reserve safety in Layne's stead in Week 17.
Layne has made a complete recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last October and is fully cleared for all football activities, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Layne played in five games with the Chargers last season before tearing his ACL in Week 6. He made one start but was relegated almost exclusively to special-teams work in his other four contests. Layne is currently a free agent, and Wilson reports that several teams, including the Giants and Cardinals, are interested in bringing him in for a workout.
