After breaking Giants’ INT drought, CB suffers a bad break
The bad news just keeps piling up for the New York Giants. During a game in which he got the Giants’ first interception in 12 games, cornerback Tre Hawkins reportedly suffered a fractured lumbar spine.
The second-year cornerback, buried on the depth chart after a poor start to his career in 2023, played the best game of his career Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. He had two passes defensed and six tackles in addition to the interception. Hawkins started with Deonte Banks (rib) and Dru Phillips (shoulder) already out of the lineup.
The news means that Hawkins is likely to finish the season on injured reserve. Hawkins was a sixth-round pick by the Giants in 2023.
