The Giants won’t have the heart and soul of their defense on the field for a while. But his presence will still be felt. That was the message from Tom Coughlin this morning, when the Giants distributed his first public reaction to the news that Pierce could miss up to six weeks with a bulging disc in his neck . The coach said Pierce will remain a fixture on the Giants’ sideline, where...

The Giants sent seven players to the Pro Bowl last season. But it doesn’t seem likely they’ll be able to duplicate that feat this year. In fact, in the first round of fan voting released today by the NFL, only one Giants player leads in the balloting at his position — punter Jeff Feagles. Worse, in the 19 separate position categories, only eight Giants players appear in the top five....

It’s really like someone is having some sort of warped, twisted special: Have a big game for the Giants, get an injury - - free! Linebacker Bryan Kehl, who has been outstanding on special teams this season and was one of the unsung heroes of the Giants’ win in Kansas City on Sunday, underwent surgery late today on a fractured left index finger. It’s not clear when he hurt his finger,...

It seems that all three of our rivals were met with some form of misfortune this Sunday, as many starting players are now down for the count. First up, the undefeated New York Giants .

A source told the Newark Star Ledger’s Mike Garafolo that linebacker Michael Boley will miss a few weeks with a knee injury. This is a huge set back for Boley, who was really starting to come into his own after recovering from a hip injury. Presumably, Bryan Kehl or Chase Blackburn will take his place.

Fed up with waiting for two of his top three cornerbacks to play this season, Tom Coughlin said “It’s time” for Aaron Ross and Kevin Dockery to get back on the practice field. “We’re going to try to get (them) going,” Coughlin said. “Hopefully they’ll be able to do some individuals to start with. We’re going to kind of spoon feed it back. But it’s...

A bit of news and notes for you on this Thursday afternoon: It looks like Chase Blackburn will be starting at weakside linebacker for suspended Michael Boley. Blackburn is not overly athletic, but he gets by on grit, and smarts. A friend of mine calls him “the backbone of this team.” I’m not sure I agree [...]

The cuts won’t become official until 6 p.m. today, and even then there’s still a lot of time for the Giants to tweak their roster before opening day on Sept. 13. But according to various NFL sources, and a couple of reports, below is what I believe is the 53-man roster the Giants will announce later this evening. I’ve also included the list of cuts I’ve been compiling all day...
