Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders makes the catch as Paulson Adebo #21 of the New York Giants defends at MetLife Stadium.
The New York Giants are getting rather thin in the secondary, as head coach John Harbaugh revealed on Friday that cornerback Paulson Adebo would be headed to injured reserve.
The New York Daily News’ Pat Leonard said Harbaugh didn’t believe Adebo needed surgery on his “nagging” knee, but also told reporters not to “hold me to it.”
It remains unclear if this is a short-term stint on IR, meaning Adebo would miss a minimum of four games, or if it will be longer, but it’s still a troubling development for an already weak position for Big Blue.
With a high-profile matchup against the Los Angeles Rams and the reigning MVP Matthew Stafford just days away, the Giants back end is looking volatile, to say the least.
