The New York Giants recently experienced a significant loss, with depth linebacker Jarrad Davis suffering a torn ACL during Organized Team Activities (OTAs) a few weeks ago.
Davis was poised to vie for the LB2 role alongside Bobby Okereke. However, the untimely injury has opened up opportunities for second-year defender Michael McFadden, who now appears to be the prime candidate for the starting spot.
Darrian Beavers, a former sixth-round pick, is also set to compete for the position. However, having missed his rookie season due to a similar ACL injury, he may need more time to regain his fitness and form, effectively treating the upcoming season as a do-over of his rookie campaign.
