Giants Could Catch a Break With Early Season Sked
Whether on offense, defense, or special teams, injuries have been mounting all season for the 2010 New York Giants.
Through the first three weeks of the pre-season, the Giants’ entire first-team offense has yet to appear together on the field, two of their top three cornerbacks (Aaron Ross and Terrell Thomas) missed the Giants’ last preseason game in Baltimore on Saturday, and receiver/kick returner Domenik Hixon was lost for the season in July.
And, all of that, touching all three phases of the Giants’ squad, has only been a small piece of the myriad of injury problems the Giants have faced this summer.
However, if the Giants can get healthy enough over the next couple of weeks, they could be helped by the beginning of a regular season schedule that might play in their favor.
When you play in the physical NFC East, one thing you want to avoid for as long as possible when you’re battling injuries and missed time in the preseason is to meet your fellow division opponents.Yet, as bad as the Giants’ luck has been with keeping several key players on the field, is how good their fortune will be with steering clear of NFC East foes to start the season when it counts.
