EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today made a series of roster moves to augment their roster for their game tonight against the Washington Football Team in FedExField. Guard Shane Lemieux was placed on injured reserve. Matt Skura, who has started 52 of the 57 regular-season and postseason games in which he's played, was signed off the practice squad to replace him. In addition, the Giants elevated wide receiver/kickoff returner C.J. Board and tight end Chris Myarick from the practice squad to their game roster. Lemieux had started the Giants' previous 10 games at left guard, including the season opener vs. Denver on Sunday. But he played only 17 snaps before being replaced by Ben Bredeson. Lemieux is still feeling the effects of the knee injury he suffered in a training camp practice on July 29. He did not play in any of the Giants' three preseason games. |

Starting LG Shane Lemiuex (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. Be surprised if we saw him again this season.
This is interesting... so now everyone is upset giants got nxt yrs 1st round pick from Bears and selected an explosive WR lower in the 1st round when we needed and explosive WR.. and many football executives were drooling over that pick? Even the dipshit ESPN GM Riddick loved the pick of Toney. too funny.
Not to worry, have you missed what KT did this offseason and in Game 1?!

I'm not upset. Based on the status of this OL, I would have rather gambled on taking Slater instead of the Chicago trade. Slater is off to a great start and our new "explosive" receiver looks anything but...
And just because we have the picks doesn't mean the great decision makers will be able to execute correctly.
Gmen just seem to have rotten luck in this category

obviously it's early but toney was barely on the field sunday v denver and didn't do jack shit when he was. id've rather they taken slater rather than trade down with the bears, or take another OL instead of toney.
Am I overreacting to this? I think I have an appropriately gauged approach to NFL injuries. It’s a tough game but you don’t put a player out there with a very serious and career threatening injury (Lemieux) and you don’t put a cornerstone player in a preseason game when hes sick and having trouble breathing ?
What the F***?

I get it but that move is looking prescient if not for the injuries that destroyed the Preseason practices. Lemieux going down is just a bad break. BC they said and were right -OL would shake loose and possibly could trade for another OL if need be, thankfully they did both. Injuries suck and they happen -especially in football.. its a long season, let them play and see how it shakes out.. I like the talent on the team now compared to previous years.. this is a new year and a new team imo just need to play.
Bingo!
Here’s what I thought before Shane was IRd: this injury can be extremely serious but there are degrees of severity and I assumed that if he was playing it was only a mild tear. Then after a few plays, he comes out and a few days later goes on IR. Let’s just say that doesn’t give me any confidence in the coaches or medical staff.
And yes Lemieux played extensively at Oregon, and never missed time.

If we're going to be technical it wasn't reinjured because it was never healed. Judging by the fact he wasn't carted off from the field I'm going to guess it's not a complete tear. The player, medical staff, and coaches made the decision it was appropriate to give it a shot. Obviously it didn't work out. The sky is not falling.

Hey, stop being rational on gameday.
Ok, I’ll calm down. I know the NFL is brutal, but I’m still wondering about the risk/rewards thinking about Thomas and Lemieux playing.

Hey it's cool I'm not trying to be a jerk. Hopefully, he makes a full recovery and is back next season. Go Giants!
How about you guys don’t know a thing about his injury and the risk/reward that was weighed by the medical staff, coaching staff, and player? Seems like a crazy concept, I know.

Look, I haven't liked this gamble on the OL taken by Judge and DG. I thought we still needed to upgrade heading into the first rounds of free agency (I campaigned for Thuney and Linsey) and then the draft when we eschewed free agency.
The question marks and holes seemed pretty obvious to me. Now they seem even more blatant...
Slater was an "add water and stir" pick.
That’s exactly what I did, there aren’t any facts, we don’t have his medical records. What wears thin is crucifying the player for not getting surgery on your timetable and saying a notoriously conservative medical staff is incompetent.
This has nothing to do with trust, and everything to do with fans not knowing shit about the medicals of a player.
And that is the Front Office has shown itself near incapable of scouting and selecting quality OL, and the various coaching staffs haven't shown well in developing the ones they have brought in. And this two-pronged failure has gone on for years, and this year is setting up for the same.

It is not a symptom of anything but a player that got injured. You people are insufferable.
Bright side. Let’s see what we have

While I agree this organization has deep problems, especially with the OL, the fact this guy played well enough for us to be concerned about him being out of the lineup from a football perspective means that - at least for once - they did properly identify OL talent in the draft.
Him getting injured is unfortunately part of the sport.
Well maybe we can use the 1st round pick we received for trading down on a guard unless someone like Bredeson steps up.

I'm sure if you questioned them they would explain it to your satisfaction. You're not the doctor, you're not the trainer, you're not the head coach, you're not ownership, you have no access to the player or his medical records, but for some reason you seem to believe you know something they don't about his situation and the viable choices for dealing with it. Why?
You are putting an awful lot of words in my mouth.
