Giants HC Admits He's in 'Shock' After Losing 2 Most Important Players

The New York Giants are dealing with losing two of their best player on offense and defense before the month of October.

The New York Giants are struggling following the loss of two of their top players for the remainder of the season. Quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury that required surgery during Week 2, while pass-rusher Brian Burns tore his ACL in last week's game due to wet and rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium. Giants head coach John Harbaugh admitted to being in shock by the double blow to his team's offense and defense.

Harbaugh emphasized that the team must overcome the initial shock and find ways to win their upcoming games. He also expressed sympathy for Burns, calling him a leader for the defense and a threat to sack opposing quarterbacks. The Giants addressed Dart's injury by trading for J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings, but finding a replacement for Burns will prove challenging.
