Giants lose punt returner to freak locker room injury

You cannot make it up.

With one game remaining in the season, rookie receiver and punt returner Jawill Davis was placed on injured reserve — not a common occurrence with only one game remaining. The way Davis got hurt was anything but common.

A source indicated Davis hurt his knee while horseplaying in the locker room Saturday. According to NFL Network, Davis was dancing in the locker room and suffered a partially dislocated patella. Clearly, Davis would not be ready to play in Sunday’s game against the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium and he was put on IR.
