Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News confirms earlier reports about Phillips:
Giants S Kenny Phillips Officially Out for Season With ‘Patella Femoral Arthritis’
Giants place S Kenny Phillips on IR and claim S Aaron Rouse off waivers from Green Bay.
Rouse was just released this week by the Packers, which was a controversial move by the team. He’s productive in run support, but struggles in coverage.
Back to Phillips: here’s more on his condition from the Giants official website:
The Giants announced today that Phillips is being placed on injured reserve with a knee condition that first surfaced in training camp. Phillips has seldom practiced in recent weeks and received constant treatment. But an examination yesterday by team doctors and an MRI revealed that the condition (patella femoral arthritis) in Phillips’ left knee has worsened. A final determination has not yet been made on how to treat Phillips’ condition.
