As expected, the Giants placed DT Markus Kuhn on season-ending injured reserve.

The Giants placed DT Markus Kuhn (torn ACL) on injured reserve today. They did not immediately replace him on the roster. #NYG

Kuhn becomes the eighth player the team has placed on IR this season. The others: CBs Terrell Thomas and Michael Coe, DE Justin Trattou, DTs Martin Parker and Shaun Rogers, RB Da’Rel Scott and OL Brandon Mosley.

The only defensive lineman on the practice squad is DE Matt Broha. It’s unlikely they’ll activate him, but with Domenik Hixon (ankle) hurting, is it a reach to say training camp star WR David Douglas might be activated? Stay tuned.
