Reggie Ragland was brought to the New York Giants in 2021 to provide depth at inside linebacker. The season-ending injury suffered by Blake Martinez in in Week 3, though, led to Ragland playing far more than expected.
He played 473 snaps, 41 percent of the defensive snaps. From Week 3 to Week 12, he was a regular part of the playing rotation, but only played three defensive snaps the final three weeks of the season.
Should Ragland be brought back to compete for a spot as a depth player in Wink Martindale’s defense?

Making the case
