Jake Ballard has been informed of his injury status.

Ballard has been informed by team doctors that he tore his left meniscus in the New York Giants’ Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. In the middle of this season, he tore his right PCL.

He left in the fourth quarter of the game with this injury. He was seen on the sideline attempting to make a couple of cuts, but he was not able to make them and fell immediately to the floor.

During the off-season, he will have to work to get both knees right. He finished the game with two catches for 10 yards.
