Armon Watts is expected to be placed on injured reserve after undergoing knee surgery earlier this week, impacting the Giants' defensive line depth as they head into the regular-season finale against the Eagles.

Armon Watts, a veteran addition to the Giants' defensive line, has seen limited action this season, initially being a healthy scratch until injuries opened up opportunities for him to contribute. His presence reflects the team's recent strategy of relying on veteran players to bolster their trenches, which has not yielded the desired results in improving the overall performance of the defensive line.

Armon Watts has been placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury sustained during last week's game against the Buccaneers. Before his injury, he had been performing well in a reserve role after being promoted from the practice squad. His absence will likely lead to reduced playing time for Jordon Riley, who has already been a healthy scratch in multiple games this season.

Armon Watts was one of the few Giants players who seemed to recognize that the ball was loose after Sean Tucker's fumble. Despite being in position to potentially recover it and make a significant play, he was unable to act quickly enough, as Baker Mayfield swooped in to secure the ball first. Watts' awareness contrasted with the rest of his teammates, underscoring the missed opportunity for the Giants in a season filled with challenges.
