Giants Claim Kick Returner

On Wednesday, the New York Giants claimed Cincinnati Bengal kick returner, Chris Davis, off waivers. Since the loss of Domenik Hixon, to a season ending ACL injury a couple of weeks ago, the Giants have been searching for a replacement to return kicks. Davis, a former 4th round pick by the the Tennessee Titans, missed last season with a hamstring injury suffered during the preseason. Davis was recently let go by the Bengals. Davis averaged 9.5 yards per punt return as a rookie with a long return of 39 yards. in 2008, he only had two punt returns in five games played. Davis has an average of 26 yards per return on six career kick returns.
