Dan Duggan reports that the Giants are placing OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux on injured reserve due to a wrist injury.
Ian Rapoport confirmed Thibodeaux suffered a fractured scaphoid bone in his wrist. He was previously considered week-to-week but will now miss at least the next four games.
It’s a tough break for New York’s defense as they’ll be without one of their top edge rushers. It’ll be interesting to see if Thibodeaux is a candidate for injured reserve should the Giants’ medical staff rule he’ll miss an extended period.
Thibodeaux, 23, was selected fifth overall by the Giants in the 2022 draft. He’s in the third year of a four-year rookie deal worth $33.3 million that includes a $20 million signing bonus and is fully guaranteed.
In 2024, Thibodeaux has appeared in five games for the Giants and recorded 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, and two sacks.
We will have more news on Thibodeaux as it becomes available.
