Shifts to IR
Payton (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback is thus slated to spend the coming campaign on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Giants. The 26-year-old is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 12 tackles in nine contests while working in a reserve role in New York's secondary.
