Sash

Sash sustained the concussion late in last week’s victory over the 49ers. It’s his second career concussion, having suffered one at Iowa in college. With another week and a half before game time, the special teamer should be fine for the Super Bowl.

Sash, a sixth-round pick, saw limited action in last week’s game against Green Bay, but looks to be the preferred option to Deon Grant in pass coverage. After primarily playing on special teams this season, he’ll matchup with Jason Witten and be spelled on obvious running downs.

Last year’s sixth-rounder, Sash was expected to replace free agent Deon Grant as the No. 3 safety. He’s eligible to play in exhibition games, but will sit out the first month of the season. GM Jerry Reese suggested earlier in the week that Grant could be brought back.

Primarily a special teamer as a rookie, Sash will compete with Stevie Brown and Chris Horton to be Kenny Phillips and Antrel Rolle’s top backup. However, beat writer Ohm Youngmisuk believes the Giants haven’t closed the door on re-signing Grant.

Sash’s return is perfect timing after starting SS Kenny Phillips sprained an MCL against the Eagles Sunday night. If Sash is in shape, he could step right into the starting lineup against the Browns on Sunday.

Sash was injured in the early parts of the first half. As the fourth or fifth safety, his main contribution is on special teams.

Sash was carted to the locker room. He’s likely staring at a multi-week absence, at best. It’s bad news for a team already missing Kenny Phillips. Will Hill, who opened the game on special teams, should be in for more time on defense.

Sash was eligible to return, but will remain on roster exempt. The Giants have until Monday to announce a corresponding move. Stevie Brown will start at strong safety in place of Kenny Phillips, who is out with a knee injury.

Sash is eligible to return after serving a four-game suspension to start the season, but he may not be in football shape yet. With Kenny Phillips (knee) out, the Giants will likely turn to Stevie Brown at strong safety. Will Hill will be the lone safety reserve. New York has until 4PM ET on Saturday to activate Sash and have him for Week 5.

He’ll take the place of Will Hill, who’s been suspended four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Sash was suspended the first four games for failing a test related to performance-enhancing drugs, and the Giants had a one-week exemption for him which they utilized before the Browns game. Sash may quickly emerge as a starter while SS Kenny Phillips (knee) heals.
