I guess replacing Michael Strahan just got a bit harder. As anyone who watched tonight’s preseason game knows, Osi Umenyiora hurt his knee. They claim that there was no ligament damage to the knee, but officials are unsure how much time he will miss.. From the NY Daily News:
"No ligament damage would be good, but a “locked up” knee – – which is how a Giants spokesman described it – could be an indication of several other things, including a torn meniscus. Depending on the size of the tear, that could mean an absence of anywhere from 2-8 weeks, depending on whether surgery is necessary.But the Giants won’t know anything until the MRI exam. All they know at the moment is that the 26-year-old Umenyiora appeared to be in a lot of pain when went down with 10:48 left in the second quarter. He suffered the injury on a third-and-7 play from midfield when he tried to rush around the outside of Jets left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson. As Ferguson pushed off, Umenyiora appeared to get his left foot caught in the FieldTurf and immediately dropped to the ground."
Let’s hope for the best, and you will find those MRI Results here tomorrow.
