Giants G Diehl to miss six week after thumb surgery

[WoodysGirl]

The Giants just announced the veteran offensive lineman will have surgery this afternoon to “repair his unstable right thumb.”

Diehl practiced Tuesday with a cast on his hand, but more tests confirmed that surgery was required. He’s expected to miss six weeks.

Three step drops galore week 1. Giants are predictable as hell but the coaches never see it. Smh

Are the Giants' boards in meltdown mode? Are their fans having conniptions? Are the Giants begging for Moore and Waters yet?

they are reacting to this news about how we would react to Arkin getting injured. Like Free, Diehl took a huge paycut in the offseason, unlike Free, Diehl has regressed even further according to training camp reports.

Giants fans rejoicing. Diehl is so overrated. (By his own coaching staff)

Overrated or not, this doesn't bode well for the Giants. Not for opening day, and not for September. After us they have Denver, and Carolina. They also have Philly and Chicago in early October.

They could certainly start out behind the gun here. Which means a lot given that I think they are the safest bet to be a threat at winning the NFC East.

Now it's much more about RG3 and how that Commanders team delivers.

Just give us a healthy front seven on defense for that first Commanders game. Let's see dear old Alfred run it down our throats with Lee and Co. in there. My guess is that he's going to find the sledding much tougher. Like sled hitting a tree kind of tougher.

Losing Diehl is addition by subtraction. He has looked awful in the preseason. Slower than ever. Baas is definitely more of a problem but Cordle is supposedly doing a fine job.
