The New York Giants faced immediate trouble in their Week 6 home game against the New Orleans Saints, with starting cornerback Greg Newsome ruled out due to a concussion. Newsome left the game as the Giants trailed 27-10 at the start of the fourth quarter.
Newsome, a 2021 first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns, has earned roughly $34 million in his career and joined the Giants for his first season on a one-year, $8 million contract in March. He was noted as being evaluated for a concussion, and Colton Hood was inactive with a concussion, while Nic Jones — typically a slot corner — entered the game in Newsome’s stead.
