Pro Football Talk was the first to report this and now the NJ Star-Ledger is as well: Giants safety Kenny Phillips may be placed on I.R. and miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
More Bad News for Giants: S Kenny Phillips May Be Out for Season
Phillips has been suffering a lingering knee issue which has kept him off the practice field. He was able to play against Dallas last Sunday, and had two interceptions. Now reports indicate that the knee will require surgery.
This would be a massive blow to the Giants thin secondary, which, including Phillips, is only three-deep at safety.
Elsewhere on their defense, Justin Tuck reportedly has a partially torn labrum, and could miss several weeks of action.
