The New York Giants injury situation, much like the season, keeps getting worse.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that the dislocated elbow injury suffered by defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II in Thursday’s 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys is potentially season-ending.
The potential season-ending loss of Lawrence, a team captain and one of the most visible and vocal leaders in the locker room, is huge for a Giants run defense that struggles without him. It’s also a heartbreaker in that Lawrence was making a legitimate push for Defensive Player of the Year honors. Johnson, who caught all five of his pass targets in the game for 54 yards, finishes his rookie campaign having appeared in 12 games with 11 starts, and catching 29 of 43 pass targets for 331 yards and one touchdown.
Daboll also added that, given the injuries to the unit, there was “a pretty good possibility” the team would sign defensive line help.
