The New York Giants' season took a turn for the worse as they placed outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux on injured reserve, effectively ending his season. Thibodeaux, who has been battling a shoulder injury, has missed the past four games and has only managed 25 tackles and 2.5 sacks this season. The Giants, who are currently 2-12, made the decision to shut him down with three weeks remaining in the season, opting to activate cornerback Art Green from the practice squad. This comes as a disappointment for Thibodeaux, who was hoping to return for the next game against the Raiders. The Giants had previously picked up the fifth-year option on Thibodeaux's rookie contract for $14.751 million, but his wrist and shoulder injuries have limited his performance over the past two years. Despite this, the Giants were optimistic that Thibodeaux would be able to return this season, but he ends up on injured reserve five weeks after suffering the original injury against the Chicago Bears. This is a controversial decision, as some may argue that the Giants should have placed him on injured reserve earlier, while others may question the team's handling of his injuries.
