The Giants designated Crowder (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder was back at practice Wednesday, and the Giants will now have a 21-day window to evaluate him for return to the active roster. The rookie seventh-round pick has flashed when given the opportunity, but with Blake Martinez and David Mayo both healthy, he'll likely only play a backup role.

The Giants placed Crowder (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Days after recording a career-high 10 tackles and returned a fumble for a touchdown against Washington, Crowder will be shut down for three weeks due to a hamstring injury. He'll be eligible to return Week 10 versus the Eagles, but he may return to a reserve role if both David Mayo and Blake Martinez stay healthy.

Crowder had 10 tackles (six solo) and returned a fumble for a touchdown during Sunday's 20-19 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The 10 tackles was a strong performance by itself, but the 23-year-old also recovered a fumble and returned in 43 yards for a touchdown to give the Giants a 20-19 lead with less than four minutes remaining in the game. The return of David Mayo from injured reserve did little to impact Crowder's playing time, as he still played 85 percent of defensive snaps.

Crowder (hamstring) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder failed to suit up in Monday's game against the Steelers with the hamstring issue, but logged his first full practice session of the season. Now healthy, the rookie seventh-rounder should assume a depth role at linebacker for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Crowder (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder was limited during practice all week but couldn't shake off his hamstring injury. It's unclear what role Crowder will have once he's healthy, but the Giants could have a decent amount of faith in the rookie seventh-rounder since they cut LB Ryan Connelly, who began the 2019 season as a starting linebacker.

Crowder (hamstring) is questionable for the team's Week 1 contest against Pittsburgh, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder has logged three limited practices in an effort to get up to speed for Monday's contest. However, his status remains up in the air for now. If Crowder is able to suit up, he should serve a reserve role among the team's insider linebackers.

The Giants activated Crowder (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder's early acclimation in camp was slightly delayed while he spent more than a week on the NFI list, but he'll now be able to turn his focus fully toward earning a depth role. The final pick of April's draft, Crowder will work to showcase his ability on special teams for the G-Men.

Crowder (undisclosed) has been placed on the Giants' non-football injury list, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder, who was the final pick in this this past April's draft, is a candidate to contribute on special teams this season, assuming his unspecified injury is not major.
