According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, the “belief” is that Giants LB Ryan Connelly suffered a torn ACL during Sunday’s Week 4 victory over the Redskins.
The injury is to Connelly’s right knee. Further testing Monday should confirm the diagnosis, which will undoubtedly end the rookie’s debut season. The fifth-round Wisconsin product had played well this year, submitting 10 tackles, two interceptions and one sack across 187 defensive snaps. David Mayo is the leading candidate to fill his post at middle linebacker.
