Giants Place Kayvon Thibodeaux on IR, Season Ends Due to Shoulder Injury

The New York Giants have placed outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux on injured reserve, officially ending his season due to a shoulder injury. Thibodeaux missed the last four games and will now sit out Week 16 against the Vikings. He played 10 games this season, recording 25 tackles and 2.5 sacks, with all sacks coming in the first four weeks. This marks a disappointing end to a year where he failed to regain his previous form. The Giants exercised his 2026 contract option for a fully guaranteed $14.751 million.
