Olivea’s Season Is Over

The feel good story of camp does not have a happy ending. Shane Olivea, who battled an addiction to pain killers and made a great debut in camp, was placed on season-ending IR this afternoon.

He started at tackle with the Chargers for three and a half years and spent 90 days this summer in rehab for an addiction to pain killers.

The Giants signed him just before training camp but he was sidelined with a back injury since Aug. 3.
