Layne (knee) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs, John Schmeelk of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layne hurt his knee in Week 16 of last season and finished the campaign on IR. However, Schmeelk reports that the 25-year-old safety "made a couple good plays" during practice Friday, so it appears Layne is back to full health. He'll have a chance to compete for a depth role in the defensive backfield during training camp.

The Giants placed Layne (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layne suffered a knee injury during the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. The injury prevented him from practicing all week, and it is severe enough for him to be placed on IR, which will end his 2024 campaign. Layne played for the Giants in Week 15 and 16 and accumulated three solo tackles over that span.

Layne (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old from Indiana played 27 total snaps (22 defensive and five on special teams) and recorded three total tackles in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. However, it appears he sustained a knee injury in the process, as he was unable to practice throughout the week and is now in line to miss Sunday's contest. Anthony Johnson is likely to serve as the Giants' top reserve safety in Layne's stead in Week 17.

Layne has made a complete recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last October and is fully cleared for all football activities, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layne played in five games with the Chargers last season before tearing his ACL in Week 6. He made one start but was relegated almost exclusively to special-teams work in his other four contests. Layne is currently a free agent, and Wilson reports that several teams, including the Giants and Cardinals, are interested in bringing him in for a workout.

Layne announced Wednesday via his personal Instagram account that he underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ACL, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layne was placed on injured reserve Oct. 18 and will miss the remainder of the season. The 24-year-old safety tallied five tackles through five games before being deactivated.

Layne (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Chargers on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layne suffered a torn ACL in Monday's contest with the Cowboys and he will now officially be sidelined for the rest of the 2023 campaign while on IR. The cornerback will finish his sophomore season with five tackles while appearing in five games with Los Angeles.

Layne (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layne went down with an injury in the third quarter and it has now been diagnosed as a season-ending injury. The safety will finish his year with five tackles over five contests and shift his focus to being ready for the 2024 campaign. In Layne's absence moving forward, AJ Finley and Dean Marlowe are candidates to see an increase in workload.

Layne exited Monday's game against the Cowboys with a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

Layne left the game in the third quarter and is now questionable to return. The 24-year-old has yet to record any stats but the Chargers may now be without a solid special teams contributor for the remainder of Monday's game.

Layne is in line for a starting opportunity in Sunday's matchup with the Raiders, Eric Smith of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Derwin James (hamstring) doubtful, Alohi Gilman (heel) questionable and JT Woods (undisclosed) out, the Chargers are expected to be pretty thin at safety in Week 4. As a result, Layne is in line for a start, which would be the first of his career. The second-year safety has just two solo tackles on the year.

The Chargers signed Layne to their active roster Monday, per the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

While the Chargers moved cornerback Kemon Hall (hamstring) to injured reserve Monday, the team added Layne to its 53-man roster in a corresponding move to provide further secondary depth. The undrafted rookie has suited up for Los Angeles on three separate occasions this year, but he's primarily operated as a special-teams contributor in those games.
