Nas Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Strahan goes on IR after reinjuring sprained foot EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan will miss the rest of the season for the New York Giants after aggravating a sprained right foot last weekend against the New Orleans Saints. Strahan He was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and could need surgery, the team said. The Giants (7-8) can almost surely clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Redskins (5-10) in the regular-season finale at Washington on Saturday. Strahan, who shares the Giants' all-time sack record of 132½ with Lawrence Taylor, hurt the foot Nov. 5 against Houston. He was playing for the first time since the injury in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Saints. The 14-year veteran had five tackles (three solo) and knocked down a pass before re-injuring the foot late in the contest. Strahan had 50 tackles (34 solo) and three sacks this season, his lowest sack total since he had one as a rookie in 1993. His career sack total leaves him tied with Taylor and Leslie O'Neal for seventh on the all-time NFL list. The Giants have also placed offensive tackle Luke Petitgout and returner Chad Morton on injured reserve. Morton suffered a knee injury on Sunday. Petitgout broke a leg against Chicago on Nov. 12. The Giants had kept Petitgout on the active roster, hoping that he might recover and play again this season. However, he has not made enough progress. New York signed free agent receiver Darius Watts, tight end Darcy Johnson from their practice squad, and running back Robert Douglas from the Houston Texans' practice squad. Watts was a second-round draft choice by the Denver Broncos in 2004. He caught 31 passes for 385 yards and a touchdown as rookie. The former Marshall product had two receptions last season and was released by the Broncos before the start of this season. Johnson has been on the practice squad all season. Douglas has never played in an NFL game. At the University of Memphis, Douglas switched from linebacker to fullback midway through his junior season. The Giants also made a move on their practice squad, releasing running back Cedric Humes and signing tight end Jason Randall.

Lughead Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Strahan goes on IR after reinjuring sprained foot sorry nas but big fucking deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 sorry nas but big fucking deal Well of course it is. If we were to make into the playoffs, you'd think the NO game was to shake off the rust and he'd wreak havoc against Washington and then Philadelphia in the wild card game. Luke is done for the year too btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifoefum Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks for giving it your all Stray... Here's to better health next year. It's kind of sad to witness this "changing of the guard". Strahan and Toomer are getting old. Barber is retiring. They should be proud that they have spent their entire careers in one place. I wish these 3 could have won a ring together.

Luke is done for the year too btw. If there is no way we are going to win the superbowl then there is no reason for us to be in the playoffs. If we were going into the playoffs with a 12 - 4 or a 11-5 record and busting teams up allong the way then I would say hell yeah its a big deal strah is ,but like fefi said I would rather him get healthy for next year at this point .seems he came back a little to soon .
