Giants place Janoris Jenkins (ankle) on IR

New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins has been placed on injured reserve, reports ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

What It Means:

Jenkins has dealt with an ankle injury for two months now. As a result, he will now undergo surgery today, ending his 2017 season. He has three years and roughly $31 million remaining on his five-year deal.

Jenkins had tallied 29 tackles, 9 pass defenses and 3 interceptions through 9 games. He also added a forced fumble and took 2 of his picks back for six. Losing a crucial part of their pass defense, the Giants' defense is projected for just 5.9 FanDuel points in this week's game against the Oakland Raiders.
