East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) – The New York Giants placed kick returner Michael Cox on injured reserve because of a fractured leg.<\/p>\n
Cox was hurt late in Sunday’s game against Seattle after catching a pass on the Giants’ final offensive series. He averaged a team-best 23.7 yards on 11 kickoff returns and saw limited snaps on offense, rushing for 33 yards on four carries while adding two receptions for nine yards.<\/p>\n
The Giants filled the roster spot by signing running back Orleans Darkwa off the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad.<\/p>\n
Darkwa appeared in four games for the Dolphins earlier this season, playing mostly on special teams. He had three catches for 31 yards in a Week 2 game against Buffalo and added four carries for two yards two weeks later against Oakland.<\/p>\n
Miami waived the Tulane product on Oct. 6 and signed him to the practice squad two days later.<\/p>\n
The Giants also made a practice squad move, releasing safety Kyle Sebetic and signing cornerback Josh Victorian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
