The New York Giants had a decision to make when it came to the second and final player to designate for return form injured reserve, and due to the release of Bennie Fowler and the concussion sustained by Golden Tate, many believed it would be wide receiver Russell Shepard.
It’s won’t be.
Shepard’s season is officially over as the Giants announced on Wednesday that linebacker Kareem Martin has been designated to return from injured reserve.
The Giants had placed Martin on injured reserve in September after suffering a knee injury in a season opening loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
A former third-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals, Martin signed with the Giants and reunited with defensive coordinator James Bettcher in 2018. And in his first season with Big Blue, Martin recorded 48 tackles, five stuffs and two passes defensed.
