New York Giants Add Safety To Active Roster, Expected To Play In Week 17

The New York Giants have had a great 2022 thus far, and with things going their way in the final two weeks of the season, they'll be back in the playoffs for the first time in years, and with players getting healthy, they should be a very tough out for any team in the post-season.

With Azeez Ojulari already expected to return, the Giants defence is seemingly getting a double boost, as third-year Safety Xavier McKinney is expected to make his long awaited return from the Non-Football Injury list after suffering a broken hand, which will give this team a major boost.

#Giants S Xavier McKinney will be added to the active roster shortly and is expected to play tomorrow vs. the #Colts, as @JordanRaanan said. Things changed within the last day since Brian Daboll said he didn’t expect McKinney to return this week. He’ll be a go.

In 2022 thus far, McKinney racked up 38 tackles, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery, and is coming off a 2021 that saw him haul in 5 interceptions, so if he can get back to his best in the coming weeks, this is a defence that could win some games in the playoffs.
