Giants' Armon Watts: Shifts to IR
Watts (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Watts sustained a knee injury in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts and was unable to practice all week, making his shift to IR on Friday no surprise. The 27-year-old appeared in just five games for the Giants this season, recording seven total tackles over 83 defensive snaps. White Watts is sidelined for the Giants' Week 18 divisional matchup against the Eagles, expect Elijah Garcia to serve as the team's top reserve defensive end.

Giants' Armon Watts: Activated off IR on Saturday
The Giants activated Watts (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Watts was placed on injured reserve in late November due to a shoulder injury he picked up in Week 12 against the Buccaneers. He logged two consecutive full practices to end the week, and while he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, his activation from IR indicates that he should make his return from a four-game absence. The 2019 sixth-round pick has logged six tackles (three solo) across four regular-season games.
