Add five more to the list as the hits just keep on hurting the Giants.
They've added defensive ends Mathias Kiwanuka (knee) and Robert Ayers (pectoral) and offensive linemen Geoff Schwartz and Adam Snyder (knee), and linebacker Terrell Manning to injured reserve, making it an NFL-high 20 players on IR and lost for the season. For Kiwanuka, it's likely the end of his nine-year stay with the Giants. Ayers, with five sacks, is tied for the team lead with Jason Pierre-Paul.
To fill the roster, the Giants signed four players: Running back Chris Ogbonnaya, who was with the Panthers earlier this season and three players off their practice squad: Offensive lineman Eric Herman, linebacker James Davidson and defensive tackle Dominique Hamilton. The depth chart is now dangerously thin for the final four games of the season.
Defensive end/linebacker Paul Hazel, defensive end Jordan Stanton and guard Rishaw Johnson were signed to the practice squad.
Mired in a seven-game losing streak, the Giants (3-9) have lost the last three by a total of 10 points — 16-10 to the 49ers, 31-28 to the Cowboys and 25-24 to the Jaguars. It is the first time the Giants have lost three consecutive games by a total of 10 or fewer points since Nov. 17 to Dec. 1, 1974, when they lost to the Lions (20-19), St. Louis Cardinals (23-21) and the Bears (16-13) by a total of six points.
The past two weeks, the Giants also "achieved'' a statistical first. It is the first time in team history they scored at least 21 points in the first half in back-to-back games and lost both. They led the Cowboys 21-10 at halftime and the Jaguars 21-3 at the half. This is also the first time in Giants history they lost consecutive games after leading by 11 or more points in halftime of each game.
