Vikings' Ryan Connelly: Removed from PUP list
The Vikings activated Connelly (knee) from their reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Connelly suffered a torn ACL against the Steelers in December, and he was later placed on Minnesota's reserve/PUP list in August. The 27-year-old was required to miss the team's first four games, but he'll now be eligible to return Week 5 against the Bears. Connelly is expected to be a heavy contributor on special teams moving forward, as he's amassed 410 special teams snaps compared to just one defensive snap over the last two seasons.

Vikings' Ryan Connelly: Claimed by Vikings
The Vikings claimed Connelly off waivers from the Giants Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Connelly was a surprise cut in New York, as the 2019 fifth-round pick recorded 20 tackles, a sack, two pass breakups and two interceptions over four games before tearing his ACL. Although the Wisconsin product may have lost a step postsurgery, he could be an immediate contributor with the Vikings.

Ryan Connelly: Sent to waivers
The Giants waived Connelly on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Connelly started three of four games in 2019 before suffering a torn ACL. It's surprising that the Giants opted to let him go, but perhaps he lost a step due to the injury. Considering he recorded 20 tackles, a sack and two interceptions over just 195 defensive snaps last season, Connelly probably has strong football instincts, so another team could scoop him off waivers and give him a chance.

Connelly tore his ACL last September, but it looks like his health is back up to par just in time for training camp.

Barring any setbacks, he projects to be in the linebacker rotation for the Giants in 2020.

Giants' Ryan Connelly: Placed on IR
The Giants placed Connelly (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Pat Leonard of NY Daily Sports reports.
Connelly suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's win over Washington. The rookie fifth-round pick showed well across three starts, and he'll now work to return to full health following surgery before the 2020 season. In Connelly's absence, Tae Davis (concussion) is a candidate to receive increased opportunity on defense when healthy.

Giants' Ryan Connelly: Torn ACL confirmed
The Giants officially confirmed Connelly has a torn ACL and is out for the season.
An MRI on Monday confirmed what the Giants feared. Connelly, a rookie fifth-round pick, started the last three games and thrived in the role, making 18 tackles, a sack and two interceptions. With his injury occurring in Week 4, the hope is that Connelly can recover before the 2020 season. In the meantime, Tae Davis (concussion) and Alec Ogletree (hamstring) should be the starting inside linebackers once they're healthy, although the team may check out free agency for additional depth. Expect Connelly to be placed on injured reserve soon.
