Can the Giants Stay Healthy?
The New York Giants were the team to beat in the NFC during the regular season. However, injuries derailed their season, thus leaving people wondering can they be healthy next year.
It started even before the regular season as defensive end Osi Umenyiora tore a lateral meniscus in his left knee ending his season before it even started.
The injury bug only got worst for the team as by the end of the season all four of thier starters suffered injuries and only this week has it been revealed how hard it hit.
Starting defensive tackles Barry Cofield and Fred Robbins have reportedly had microfracture surgery to repair holes in the cartilage of thier knees.
The to make this worst for the team during the regular season wide receiver Plaxico Burres shot himself in the leg with a unregistered gun that he was carrying. That of course ended his season as well.
The Giants went into free agency and signed defensive tackles Rocky Bernard and Chris Canty to solidify their defensive tackle position in case Robbins and Cofield are not ready to go.
The fact of the matter is that the best team with the least amount of injuries to their starters is usually the team that wins the Superbowl.
With the Giants being in one of the toughest division in the National Football League in the NFC East the Giants have to find a way to stay healthy.
If they don’t then it will be another early exit in the playoffs for them.
