The New York Giants have several players on the injury bubble going into week 1 of the 2018 regular season. Olivier Vernon has been the most talked about name on the injury-report, as he struggles to come back from a practice induced high-ankle sprain.
Despite reports that Vernon was feeling better and could play on Sunday, it’s thought that he will, in fact, not be active for the home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
What does this mean for the New York Giants at OLB?
Vernon made the transition to outside linebacker after playing defensive end in Steve Spagnuolo’s 4-3 defense.
