Herzlich (neck), who spent the entire 2017 season on injured reserve, has recovered from his season-ending neck injury, Dan Duggan of NJ Advance Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herzlich, who suffered a stinger during the second week of training camp, said he felt healthy as soon as Week 4 and was simply never activated off IR. The veteran linebacker will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason but has stated his desire to return to the Giants.

Herzlich (neck) was placed on injured reserve by the Giants on Saturday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herzlich has been out for the majority of camp after suffering a stinger injury in early August. The move would be season-ending for the 30-year-old, and also puts a question mark on the remainder of his career.

Herzlich (neck) did not participate in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
After only playing 15 defensive snaps in 14 games last season, Herzlich has been battling for a share of the snaps with Devon Kennard. If he cannot prove himself, though, he'll likely return to being a specialist.

Herzlich is learning the Giants' offense to help with depth at tight end, NJ.com's Dan Duggan reports.
EDGE Analysis
At 6-foot-4, 246 pounds, Herzlich is the rare NFL linebacker who possesses adequate size to contribute as a blocking tight end. He's mostly contributed on special teams since signing with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2011, and while that doesn't figure to change anytime soon, the added versatility should at least help his odds of sticking on the final roster for another year or two. The Giants presumably hope second-round rookie Evan Engram will earn the starting job at tight end.

Herzlich re-signed with the Giants on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Herzlich has served as a reserve linebacker and special teams contributor for the Giants since entering the league in 2011. Although his production has fallen off since his 52-tackle peak in 2014, his familiarity with the team should continue to make him valuable in New York.

Herzlich suffered a concussion during Sunday's win over the Browns, the Record's Art Stapleton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Herzlich has notched just five total tackles in 10 games so far this year, so his potential absence won't be much of an issue for the Giants. He'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to game action.
