The Giants got some good news as they get ready for the Cowboys in week five, as the team will have linebacker David Mayo on the practice field for the first time in the regular season.
The linebacker was put on IR in September after roster cuts, but the team announced on Thursday that he has been designated for return.
The Giants will have 21 days to decide about activating Mayo, who tore the meniscus in his left knee this summer, or shutting him down for the year.
Last year Mayo started the final 13 games and appeared in every game. He had 82 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery.
