Overview
- ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan said Saturday that the Giants will activate Adebo from injured reserve later that day ahead of their Week 7 visit to the Houston Texans.
- Head coach John Harbaugh said Adebo is "ready to go," and with starter Greg Newsome out the veteran corner could re-enter the starting rotation immediately.
- Adebo missed the last five games after being placed on IR following the Week 1 win over Dallas and began the season as part of the Giants' secondary before the injury.
- Adebo is in year two of a reported three-year, $54 million contract, a fact that has drawn online criticism after he lost a starting job to Deonte Banks in training camp.
- The activation adds short-term depth for New York's defense and could shift matchups in Houston while the team also considers elevating wide receiver Jalin Hyatt for extra offensive options.
