The New York Giants, already thin on the offensive line, just got thinner when they announced that backup guard Kevin Boothe will undergo surgery tomorrow to repair a torn pectoral muscle. The injury occurred during a recent team training session. Boothe will be out for approximately 4 months. 5th round draft pick and rookie Mitch Petrus will now be bumped up to the primary backup position behind starting guard Chris Snee and Rich Seubert.
Starting tight end Kevin Boss will undergo arthroscopic surgery to clean out his right ankle. Boss' recovery time should be about 4-6 weeks. Boss is expected to return for the start of the Giants training camp. Boss' ankle has bothered him since a sprain against the Kansas City Chiefs in week 4 last season. One wonders why Boos didn't get this taken care sooner? He says he wanted to see if it would heal on its own, but why is he making these decisions and not the team?
