Raheem Layne placed on IR
The New York Giants announced four roster moves on Saturday before Sunday’s Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Giants placed safety Raheem Layne on Injured Reserve, activated offensive lineman Austin Schlottman and defensive lineman Armon Watts from IR, and elevated edge defender Boogie Basham from the practice squad.
Layne spent most of the season on the practice. He was added to the 53-man roster before the Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons, and suffered a knee injury in that game. He ended up appearing in two games for New York.
Schlottman spent most of the season on IR after suffering a broken fibula in practice for the season-opener. He will provide insurance with starting center John Michael Schmitz ruled out with an ankle injury. Watts was a midseason signing for the Giants. He played in four games before being injured.
Basham has played in two games for the Giants this season.
