Kevin Givens Injury: Heads to IR

Givens (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Givens will miss at least four games as he rehabs a pectoral injury he picked up in early August. His absence opens the door for rookies CJ West (knee) and Alfred Collins to secure a role at starting defensive tackle while holdover Kalia Davis mixes in. Givens played eight games last season and posted 11 tackles (six solo) and 3.5 sacks.
