The New York Giants and Carolina Panthers have the
undesirable draw of the short week. To further
their issues, each team is dealing with injuries to multiple key players. The Giants have already ruled several stars
out, while the Panthers have a few key contributors listed as questionable for
tonight’s contest.
New York was able to pull off a come-from-behind victory
against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, but they didn’t exit the contest
unscathed. The Giants will enter their
primetime matchup with the Panthers without starting running back Ahmad
Bradshaw, offensive lineman David Diehl, and top wide receiver Hakeem Nicks.
Beyond these three well-known players, New York will also be
without wide receiver Domenik Hixon and defensive end Adewale Ojomo. Cornerback Michael Coe is listed as questionable
with a hamstring injury, while linebacker Keith Rivers, running back Da’Rel
Scott and cornerback Prince Amukamara are all probably for tonight’s game.
The Panthers only have one player that’s been ruled out at
this point, offensive lineman Mike Pollak.
However, Carolina has several players, including offensive lineman Byron
Bell, linebacker Thomas Davis, safety Colin Jones and running back Jonathan
Stewart listed as questionable.
Linebacker Jon Beason, offensive lineman Ryan Kalil, and wide receivers
Steve Smith and Kealoha Pilares are all probable for the game.
