Giants Lose Two Key Starters Ahead of Texans Clash
The Giants will be without two key starters against Houston as mounting injuries threaten their grip on the NFC East.
The New York Giants have suffered a major blow ahead of their upcoming clash with the Houston Texans. In addition to star quarterback Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury, they have lost star pass rusher Brian Burns to a season-ending ACL injury. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy will now be without two of his top tight ends, Theo Johnson and Isaiah Likely.
Cornerback Greg Newsome II is also set to miss the Texans game due to a concussion. Tight end Theo Johnson and safety Jevon Holland have been downgraded to out after initially being listed as questionable and doubtful. These injuries have left the Giants without key playmakers, and will make it difficult for them to maintain their top position in the NFC East.
