The Giants placed Ihenacho (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ihenacho's spot on the roster wasn't a guarantee, but a knee injury suffered during the team's third preseason was serious enough to end his season. Considering he's on a one-year deal, there's no guarantee the veteran will be with the club come 2018.

Ihenacho (knee) is out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Jets, Art Stapleton of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ihenacho has been vying for a special-teams spot on the Week 1 roster. If this injury turns out to be serious, though, it's unlikely the Giants keep him around.

Ihenacho (hamstring) was back in the lineup for Monday's preseason contest with Cleveland, Dan Duggan of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Going into his sixth year, Ihenacho has always been a depth safety, and that isn't changing this year. He's healthy again, though, and should be expected to be a significant special-teams contributor.

Ihenacho will be sidelined for the Giants' season opener due to a hamstring injury, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
After logging 10 starts with the Redskins in 2016, Ihenacho signed with the Giants in May. He presumably sustained the injury at a recent practice. There is no current timetable for his return. The 28-year-old is competing for a role providing depth at free safety, so it will be advantageous for him to return sooner than later.

Ihenacho will sign with the Giants on Thursday, the Record's Art Stapleton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ihenacho logged 10 starts with the Redskins last season, notching 66 tackles and two passes defensed throughout 15 total games. The veteran safety turns 28 years old in June, and he figures to provide depth at strong safety behind Landon Collins in New York.

Ihenacho is expected to officially re-sign with the Redskins on Thursday, Giants' beat writer Art Stapleton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ihenacho spent two seasons with the Broncos out of San Jose State before spending the previous three in Washington. He started 10 of the 15 games he played in last season, and recorded 66 tackles and two passes defended in the process. It remains to be seen how training camp will unfold, but he figures to compete for a role providing depth at safety.

Ihenacho (concussion) will play Sunday against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
The strong safety suffered a concussion in Week 8 but will now return to the field to reclaim his role as starter. Veteran Donte Whitner could see increased action should Ihenacho see his reps closely monitored.

Ihenacho was able to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals after injuring his ankle, but later suffered a concussion.
EDGE Analysis
Ihenacho took a scary blow to the head when attempting to make a tackle late in Sunday's game, and will now enter the league's concussion protocol. Expect Donte Whitner to see increased snaps at strong safety as long as Ihenacho is sidelined.

Ihenacho suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's tilt with the Bengals and is questionable to return.
EDGE Analysis
Look for more updates on the specifics of the injury to emerge after the game. Expect veteran Donte Whinter to see the bulk of the action at strong safety if Ihenacho cannot return.
