New York Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux suffered an injury scare on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, and fans couldn't help but question the hit that forced him out of the contest.

For those who missed it, Thibodeaux went down in pain as he grabbed his right knee after a cut block from Bengals tight end Thad Moss. While the Giants newcomer was able to walk on his own power, the hit looked really bad and the way his knee bended didn't seem fine at all.

With that, a lot of fans focused on what many believe as an unnatural hit from Moss. Many fans accused the Bengals youngster of targeting Thibodeaux's knee, with some calling it a “dirty” play since there was no reason for him to go that low.

Hopefully, though, Kayvon Thibodeaux's injury is not serious and won't have long-term effects. He was seen walking on the sidelines and laughing with his teammates, so that's quite a good sign. However, the team ruled him out for the rest of the game to get his knee checked and to avoid any more setback.

Thibodeaux is expected to play a huge role on defense for the Giants, who selected him with the fifth overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. With that said, any significant injury to him is a massive blow to the team and their hopes of returning to relevance.

For now, the Giants and their fan base can only be patient and hope for the best on the tests on Thibodeaux.
