Giants Injury Update: Two to Come Off PUP

In this story:

New York Giants

On Monday, the New York Giants' PUP list will lose two more members as offensive lineman Marcus McKethan and defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson have passed their respective training camp physicals.

McKethan, the Giants' fifth-round draft pick out of North Carolina last year, tore his ACL in training camp during the Fan Fest scrimmage and landed on injured reserve. The Giants had hoped to work the 6-foot-7, 335-pound McKethan at both guard and tackle on their offensive line, but those plans were shelved after his injury.

Before his injury, the 6-foot-6, 340-pound McKethan had taken second-team snaps at guard and third-team snaps at tackle.

Robinson, whom the Giants signed as an unrestricted free agent on April 25, had suffered a season-ending meniscus injury as a member of the Rams last season for which he needed surgery.

The 28-year-old Robinson, whose specialty is run defense, continued his rehab this past spring, which was expected to last through the start of training camp.

Robinson, 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, was originally drafted in the second round by the Lions in 2016 out of Alabama. He has appeared in 93 NFL games with 61 starts and has 293 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, seven sacks, and five forced fumbles in regular season games.

Both McKethan and Robinson will make the trip to Detroit.

The Giants now have three players left on the PUP list: receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Aaron Robinson, and defensive tackle D.J. Davidson. Earlier this summer, the team activated receiver Sterling Shepard from the PUP list.

Evan Neal and Other Injury Updates

Head coach Brian Daboll said that second-year offensive tackle Evan Neal, who was dinged during Friday's practice, remains in the concussion protocol. Neal will make the trip with the team to Detroit when they leave later on Monday.

In other injury news, defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches has a groin injury that Daboll said the team is monitoring.
