As expected, an MRI conducted on the right knee of Giants offensive lineman David Diehl reveals an injury to his MCL, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

That’s good news for the Giants, since it’s not an ACL injury.

The MCL, a rope-like ligament, can regenerate without surgery, unless it’s fully torn. In this case, Diehl’s MCL isn’t fully torn. It’s currently unknown, however, how much time he’ll miss.

as i mentioned before, he's their starting RT.

This is actually a situation where most Giants fans, while not happy per se (never root for injuries, especially on your own team), aren't concerned with the injury. Diehl has been one of the worst lineman in the entire NFL these last couple of season, and I would have loved to have CJ going against him rather than his backup.

It will come as no surprise to New York Giants fans that PFF rates David Diehl of the Giants as the least efficient pass-blocking tackle in the NFL over the past three seasons. PFF divided total pressures (sacks, hits, hurries) allowed and divided that by snaps played at tackle. Diehl came up with an NFL-worst plass-blocking efficiency rating of 92.30.

Showing a sense of humor, PFF wrote that the Giants' tackle has an "impressive ability to give up pressure." That, I am sure Giants' fans already knew.

They are actually much better off shifting Locklear to his natural RT position and putting Beatty back in at LT.

Short weeks are never good and you hardly ever come out of a game unscathed. If I had to guess though Davis will rest and Bell will more than likely play unless its serious. Im just happy we have to face the Giants at home and not travel on a short week. You know they are hating that.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
