[Macnalty]

I would have to say no word on JPP is a little worrisome for the Giants.

Here's a recap of the Giants' injuries on Sunday:

The Giants' 24-14 loss to the Steelers on Sunday was bad enough. Losing defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul to a strained groin could prove more damaging.

Pierre-Paul was injured late in the second quarter when he was rushing the passer and crumbled to the turf in pain. Pierre-Paul walked gingerly to the locker room and didn't return. He said he is scheduled for an MRI on Monday morning.

"It's just pulled," Pierre-Paul said. "Not too many details that I know. I'll know tomorrow for sure."

Pierre-Paul said he isn't concerned about the injury, but it's too early to know if he'll be able to play next Sunday against the Cowboys.

*Defensive tackle Damon Harrison injured his right hamstring midway through the third quarter. Harrison missed five plays but returned for the Steelers' next possession. Harrison declined comment after the game because he said he had to go to the trainer's room for treatment.

*Cornerback Coty Sensabaugh was knocked out of the game with a rib injury in the first quarter.

"I heard it's not something that's tremendously serious," coach Ben McAdoo said. "It looks like we're out of the woods there, but we'll have to find out more."

*Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins left midway through the second quarter with a bruised thigh. He returned to the game at the start of the third quarter.

*Kick returner Dwayne Harris injured his ankle on a punt return in the fourth quarter and did not return. Harris was replaced by Bobby Rainey for a kick return in the fourth quarter. Harris came into the game banged up, saying last week that he was dealing with wrist, finger and toe injuries.

Dewayne was always nicked up here in Dallas IIRC.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I was hoping it was something serious. He'll be back for the playoffs.

I'm sure the Giants will get their grip around his injury in no time.



Too soon?

 

[Cowboy4ever]

The injury to JPP is the biggest. He went down without contact, those usually end up the worse type. If he does play, he will not be anywhere close to 100%.

My thoughts exactly. He's not going to be full-go if he even plays.

I expect all hands on board nd

I expect all hands on deck for the Giants..

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Harrison might be more impactful than JPP

 

[jazzcat22]

I hope they all miss or are limited. I don't give a rats arse about all this beating a team at their best and all that other crap.
After all the years of injuries we have had...screw this other teams health issues....

 

[CATCH17]

Harrison might be more impactful than JPP

I disagree because of the Doug Free factor.

Dallas is also trying to run to the outside more instead of stubbornly cramming it between the tackles like we did game 1.

 

[ThreeandOut]

I'm sure the Giants will get their grip around his injury in no time.



Too soon?

They are always good at putting their finger on the problem.

True Dougie cant block JPP, ever.

 

[Macnalty]

Big Blue View the giant fansite are convinced JPP is out for the game and maybe more. No hard evidence just the nature of the injury and the fact he already had the MRI an they did not reveal the extent of the injury. Similar to our Dez situation.

Meanwhile... We've been resting for 3 days .

We earned out break with three games in 12 days.

Dewayne was always nicked up here in Dallas IIRC.

But he's tough as nails as a blocker and runs with a fury. He's a maniac on ST coverage, not just returns. Most importantly, not a fumbler. Would have retained him over Dunbar.

 

[Bullflop]

I'm not at all confident we can count on injuries making the Giants less effective any more than we can be assured of being 100% ourselves. Sure, it might help that we're getting a few extra days of rest that they won't but it might also hurt us to some extent that we might be a bit rusty due to the extra time off as well. They'll may also be somewhat more desperate and willing to "lay it all on the line" for a win that they need badly.

As always, it's most likely to be a very close game and one in which the refs might afford them a home field advantage with their calls. All in all, I'm anticipating that they'll find both Dak and Zeke much farther along in their development than they'll find as comparatively easy to deal with as it was the last time. Both teams will undoubtedly be obliged to bring their 'A" games to that contest, regardless of injuries or whatnot. It's always a close matchup and this game is likely to be no exception. I'll be counting on our better play to favor us this time, not necessarily injuries.

I hear you loud and clear on this. Any other season and I would be on pins and needles before this game. But I love this team's execution and poise. They are not as good as the 90's teams but they just find ways to win. I am hoping for a beat down of epic proportions, Cowboys need to treat this as a coming out party and an official notice to entire NFL as we head into postseason.
