Overview
- The Giants announced on Saturday that they will activate cornerback Paulson Adebo from injured reserve after he practiced this week following a knee issue that landed him on IR on Sept. 18.
- Coach John Harbaugh said Adebo is "ready to go," and with Newsome ruled out by a concussion Adebo could rejoin the starting cornerback mix immediately.
- The roster changes included placing linebacker Tremaine Edmunds on IR to open the spot and elevating wide receiver Jalin Hyatt and safety Raheem Layne from the practice squad for game day.
- Adebo began the season on the Giants' active roster before the injury, and his return arrives after he lost a starting job in training camp to Deonte Banks under the new coaching staff.
- Adebo is in the second year of a reported three-year, $54 million contract, a fact that has increased public scrutiny of his role and performance as the team seeks more defensive stability.
