The New York Giants starting guard Chris Snee has soreness and inflammation in the hip.

This is not good news for the Giants offense line, which has starting center David Baas suffering from a neck injury. Furthermore, a source told Newsday that "Snee underwent an MRI on his surgicial repair hip and came back negative”. The Giants are hoping this is not too serious, because Snee is a key component of the offensive line. The head coach of the Giants Tom Coughlin was asked about Snee's health status and he responded,

"I think he's got some issues, we're trying to figure out where that is right now”.

If the pain doesn’t subside, the Giants will shutdown Snee for the year.

“The hope is that it calms down and lets him get back to playing to his standard," a source told Newsday. "If it doesn't calm down, we are going to have to do something."

The Giants offensive line struggled last week against the Carolina Panthers and ended up getting shutout 38-0. The Giants offensive line couldn’t contain a four-man pressure from the Panthers and allowed four sacks in the first ten plays. The (0-3) Giants will visit the (3-0) Kansas City Chiefs and will need the o-line to be healthy. The Chiefs defense have a total of 15 sacks, including 7.5 sacks from LB Justin Houston.

The Giants drafted Snee in 2004 with the 34^th pick in the second round. Snee has started 141 games for the Giants and is a two-time Super Bowl Champion. Snee has only missed one game (with a concussion) since his rookie season when he missed four games with an inflamed gland beneath his jaw.
