Giants’ Cody Core Tears Achilles

The Giants will be without one of their core special-teamers this season. Cody Core suffered a torn Achilles in practice Tuesday, the Giants announced.

Core proved to be an essential piece of New York’s special teams last season, and the Giants re-signed him to a two-year, $4MM deal in March. He will need to wait until 2021 to make an impact while on that deal. Core led the Giants with six special teams tackles in 2019.

A former Bengals sixth-round pick, Core has spent most of his career on special teams. He has 33 career catches in four seasons. The Bengals cut Core last year, but he landed with the Giants via waiver claim.
