What Happened To Micah McFadden?

Giants Depth Chart: Defense In Trouble After McFadden Injury

The injury to Micah McFadden is a significant blow to the Giants’ defense, as McFadden was the only LB for the New York franchise. They started the season visibly short-staffed on defense, and the cracks seemed to appear in Week 1 itself.

The Giants are now left with just Darius Muasau and Bobby Okereke, both of whom were on the field after McFadden was injured. The Giants will be in a pickle if either of them were to get injured, assuming that the injury to McFadden keeps him away for a few weeks.
