The New York Giants received some good news on Saturday morning, as their key pass-rusher is expected to be back on the field for their monumental divisional-round clash against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night.
Despite being listed as questionable during the week with a quadriceps injury, ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday morning that Azeez Ojulari is expected to play in the team’s divisional-round playoff game.
After a strong rookie year, this season has been extremely frustrating for Ojulari. The 22-year-old has dealt with ankle and calf injuries that limited him to just seven games. However, the hope was that he would be able to make up for that lost time in the team’s wild-card game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Unfortunately, the injury bug bit him again early in the New York Giants playoff matchup last week, and he wasn’t able to make an impact on the game. Fortunately, Big Blue was able to secure a win nonetheless. However, they will need all hands on deck for a difficult test against the Philadelphia Eagles.
