Giants FB Nikita Whitlock is weighing options about possible surgery on foot, per source. Surgery would result in extended absence.
Either at TE or FB....

someone not on the roster will have to be brought in.
That "mid foot" sprain

Is never a good diagnosis. I though he was a long shot for this roster.

roster decision made by injuries. Sounds like he's headed for IR.

I think they see Will Johnson as their "FB", H-Back, TE. I thought Whitlock was pretty much a forgotten man who was a huge longshot to make the team.

And Will Johnson is injured. Do the Giants really want to go into the regular season with only 1 potential blocker on the outside who's already fighting injuries?

You're right about that but Whitlock's injury doesn't change that. I don't think he was part of the solution.
Players the team are hiding

Will Johnson
Sterling Shepard
Paul Perkins
All will be big time additions. All guys we heard about early in camp.

What say you?
We've picked up some decent FBs  
Simms11 : 8/29/2016 1:19 pm : link
after cuts in the past, IIRC, guys like Madison Hedgecock, Barnes, even H Hynoski.

How are the Giants hiding the most talked about 2nd and 4th round picks in the entire league?
