Kuhn's Return Boosts Giants' Interior Depth

Kuhn’s role enhanced after Johnathan Hankins was placed on injured reserve earlier this year, and the Giants will no longer have to shuffle personnel after Kuhn's return. 

Kuhn also suffered a knee sprain in the Giants’ season-opener due to what he called a “cheap” block from Dallas Cowboys’ guard Zack Martin, per Tom Rock of Newsday.

This season, he's racked up 17 combined tackles, 0.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in nine games this season, his fourth. He’s been largely ineffective since being selected in the seventh round by the Giants in 2012.
