Giants’ Injury News: McAdoo Has”Concerns” About Eli Apple’s Ankles

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants’ cornerback Eli Apple suffered an ankle injury Saturday against the New York Jets. After the game, coach Ben McAdoo said he injury was to the opposite ankle that had caused Apple to miss time earlier in the preseason.

“I have concerns about both ankles,” McAdoo said.

Apple has been having difficulty staying on the field. He missed the first preseason game and some practice time earlier with an ankle injury. The second-year corner missed two games last season.
