NY Giants injuries:
This one was obvious.
The NY Giants have been marred by injuries this season.
Losing many key pieces such as Kenny Golladay, Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, Blake Martinez, and Andrew Thomas for multiple weeks.
It all started when in a Week 3 matchup against the Falcons, the NY Giants lost defensive star and signal-caller Blake Martinez with an ACL tear. They also lost Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton.
The injury bug continued when star RB Saquon Barkley sprained his ankle in a Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys, they also lost Kenny Golladay due to a hyperextended knee in the same game.
Each week there is seemingly a new injury for the NY Giants that continues to cost them. When this team is fully healthy they look to be a very solid core on paper. However, we have not seen this NY Giants team play a whole game at full-health.
While this is most likely the number 1 reason for the NY Giants’ lack of success, there are still multiple players who are healthy that are either not playing well, or are being mis-utilized.
