Elerson G. Smith - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Designated for return from IR Smith (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Impact Smith will now have three weeks of practice time before he has to be activated. Smith was the Giants 2021 fourth-round selection and has yet to appear in a game for them this season, due to the injury. The Giants linebacker group has been hit with several injuries this season, so Smith may not have to wait long to move up the depth chart.
