Olivier Vernon doesn’t only bring a pass rush to the Giants' defense. He brings a return to normalcy.
The Giants were scrambling personnel-wise to replace him through the first five games of the season, which he missed with a high ankle sprain. He made his 2018 debut against the Eagles, recording a sack with two tackles and two quarterback hits, and he’ll be back on the field Monday night when the Giants play the Falcons in Atlanta.
“When it comes down to it and guys are not able to be out there, it does put much more responsibility on other guys,” Vernon said.
