Update: According to the Giants, Amukamara suffered a torn bicep.
Giants CB Prince Amukamara out with biceps injury
New York is already hurting in the secondary and now becomes even thinner with another injury.
*****
New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara is out for the remainder of the team's Monday Night Football game against the Indianapolis Colts after sustaining a biceps injury in the first half. There is no other information on the severity at this time. Without Amukamara, the Giants turn to Zack Bowman, who is next on the team's depth chart.
Amukamara was playing opposite Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who has been hurting since New York's loss to the Dallas Cowboys two weeks ago. Rodgers-Cromartie has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has limited him in practice but did not prevent him from starting Monday.
Bowman has started 24 games throughout his career, but the loss of Amukamara against the best offense in the NFL is an issue. The Colts feature a trio of prolific receivers in Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton and Hakeem Nicks, along with tight ends Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen. Amukamara has a team-leading three interceptions on the season along with 42 tackles.
