Giants' Umenyiora requires season-ending knee surgery
NFL.com Wire Reports
The New York Giants' Osi Umenyiora needs season-ending knee surgery,
NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting. The Pro Bowl defensive end
has a torn MCL.
Umenyiora injured his left knee in the second quarter of the New York Giants' preseason game against the New York Jets.
Umenyiora started all 16 games last season and had 52 tackles and a
team-high 13 sacks. He added seven tackles in the Giants' run to the
Super Bowl.
The Giants are a bit thin at defensive end this season with the
retirement of seven-time Pro Bowler Michael Strahan. Tuck has replaced
Strahan. New York also signed veteran Renaldo Wynn in the offseason.
With Umenyiora sidelined, the Giants could move strongside linebacker
Mathias Kiwanuka back to defensive end. He was switched to linebacker
last year so the team could put its best 11 players on the field.
"You are always concerned any time a player like that goes down,"
Kiwanuka said. "That's not good. We know the type of player he is and
if he can come back he will. But we have the personnel to step up in
his absence."
Kiwanuka sidestepped moving back to defensive end, saying that decision is up to the team.
Information from the Associated Press was included in this report |
