The Giants have won six games with two defeats in the opening stages of the season, including a dramatic win over the Green Bay Packers in London.Defensive lineman McKinney was the star on that occasion, tipping two of Aaron Rodgers’ passes, including one on fourth down to give the Giants the ball with just seconds to play in the game.But now, it seems he won’t play again before 2023, as he opened up on a freak injury he suffered while out on a quad bike.

I fell on my hand, that’s basically what happened.”We were on a sightseeing tour, that’s all I can tell you.

It was an unfortunate event that happened.” Xavier McKinney was the hero as the New York Giants defeated the Green Bay Packers in London (Image: GETTY)
