An already massive damage report grew for the New York Giants throughout a Sunday loss to the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium.
The crew misplaced a number of extra gamers, together with cornerback Tre Hawkins, who suffered a fractured lumbar backbone. In addition they misplaced guard Jon Runyan Jr. to an ankle damage — an damage that’s prone to finish his season.
“I’d say Runyan is fairly sore immediately,” head coach Brian Daboll advised reporters on Monday. “Runyan has an ankle. I’d say week to week, possibly greater than week to week.”
With below 4 weeks remaining within the season, it appears unlikely Runyan can be rushed again to play in meaningless video games. If he lands on injured reserve (IR), he’d be ineligible to return anyway, and holding him on the 53-man roster solely shorts the crew on sport day.
Each Runyan and Hawkins are robust candidates for season-ending IR given their present conditions.
Runyan was the crew’s high free agent signing this previous offseason, having been inked to a three-year deal value $30 million, together with $17 million assured.
The 27-year-old began all 13 video games at left guard this 12 months, taking 100% of the crew’s offensive snaps till leaving the Saints sport after 34 snaps (44 %).
Runyan had earned an total grade of 56.1 courtesy of Professional Soccer Focus, which ranked him 89th out of 125 eligible guards.
