New York Giants player Xavier McKinney announced Monday that he will be sitting out for several weeks due to an injury he suffered while on an ATV in Mexico.
“During our bye week, I went away to Cabo. While there, I joined a group for a guided sight-seeing tour on ATVs. Unfortunately I had an accident and injured my hand,” McKinney said. He added that the accident will keep him “sidelined for a few weeks.”
