Heard on Sirius today that he may have to have knee surgery and may be done for the year. Adam Shein reported. That really hurts their secondary.
Kenny Phillips-Giants *out for season*

Giants' Phillips may be done for season
September 24, 2009 ι By PAUL SCHWARTZ
The Giants are bracing for what would be an incredibly damaging blow to their defense in general and secondary in particular, as second-year safety Kenny Phillips might be lost for the season and headed to injured reserve because of ongoing issues with his left knee.
Phillips is coming off a two interception performance in a victory over the Cowboys and has been managing with his injury, often not practicing during the week and then making his way onto the field on game day. The injury is apparently to the cartilage in his left knee and Tom Coughlin has repeatedly stressed that the injury is something that must be managed.
Phillips did not practice on Wednesday and today was nowhere to be seen at the Giants training complex.
If surgery is required to repair the damage, Phillips would be through for the season. That would be a significant loss, as the Giants are already thin at safety and Phillips is considered to be a rising star. The Giants considered him to be the best safety in the 2008 draft class and took him out of the University of Miami with the 31st pick in last year's NFL Draft.
The Giants opted to go with only three safeties on their roster: Phillips and Michael Johnson as the starters and free agent pickup C.C. Brown in reserve. They would unquestionably have to search for another safety to add to a defensive backfield that has been plagued by injuries. Starting cornerback Aaron Ross will miss his third straight game this Sunday in Tampa because of a strained hamstring. Kevin Dockery missed the first two games with a hamstring injury and could miss a third this weekend.
The Giants have rookie safety Sha'reff Rashad on their practice squad but likely will add a safety with NFL experience, presuming there's one out there worthy of signing.

I wonder if he's headed for the dreaded microfracture surgery since it's a cartiladge problem.

Their secondary as a unit didn't look like a problem on Sunday. Strange, considering they were all banged up and we were totally healthy.
Funny how some teams seem to be able to carry on when some of their better players go down. Remember two years ago in the divisional round? Their secondary was JACKED UP and we were at home. We ran at will in the first half, with Marion racking up over 100 yards. And we STILL couldn't solve their secondary in the second half.
I think that's why I'm so pissed about this most recent loss, it brought back WAY too many memories of what I think was the most discouraging loss in my 30+ years as a Cowboys fan.

Mine too.. he was top 10 pick after his sophmore year. A lackluster junior year dropped him but he is a stud and they stole him.
Good news for us, bad news for him.
Meriweather and Phillips were nasty back there.

I don't root for injuries and I wish him a full and speedy recovery. That being said..I'll take it. How many healthy DB's does that leave them with now?
