Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Headed to IR
The New York Giants will place Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.This move was not unexpected, as Thibodeaux's wrist injury -- a breaking of the scaphoid bone -- has a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. The third-year pass rusher will need to miss at least New York's next four games, so his earliest possible return date will be Nov. 10 for a contest against Carolina. Azeez Ojulari will likely take over in a pass-rushing starting role for as long as Thibodeaux remains sidelined.

The standout pass rusher has played above 70 percent of defensive snaps in all five of New York's games, and piling up 12 tackles (eight solo) and two sacks.
