Black (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by the Giants on Monday, Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the team's official site report.
The cornerback got injured during New York's final preseason game against the Jets. Black had broken up four passes during preseason action and had likely earned his spot on the active roster. He'll now have to miss the first four games, but the designation to return indicates that the coaching staff sees him as a part of the 53 once he's healthy.

Rotowire
The Giants selected Black in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 246th overall.
Black was a three-year starter at Oklahoma State and had four career interceptions with 25 pass breakups. He has a physical play style, but he still slipped further than projected in the draft. The Giants have been seeking stability in the secondary, though Black will likely be limited to special-teams work if he's able to crack the roster.
