The Giants just dropped a Saturday afternoon bombshell, ruling out safety Jevon Holland and tight end Theo Johnson for their Week 7 matchup against the Texans. This is brutal news for a team already trying to pick themselves up.
Giants’ Defense Gets Shorthanded and It’s Getting Worse
Jevon Holland is officially a no-go for Sunday’s game, and it sounds serious. He was listed as questionable earlier due to a concussion, but the decision to rule him out means he hasn’t cleared that protocol yet. Losing your starting safety for a critical Week 7 game is never easy, but it gets worse. The Giants already had linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and cornerback Greg Newsome ruled out on Friday. That’s a huge chunk of their defensive talent sidelined. This defense is going to be shorthanded in multiple areas when they face the Texans. You just know this is going to be a tough day trying to slow down the opposing offense with so many key pieces missing.
Theo Johnson’s Neck Adds to the Injury Woes
It’s not just the defense taking hits. Tight end Theo Johnson has also been ruled out for Week 7. He was carrying a doubtful tag due to a neck injury, so his absence isn’t exactly a shocker. Still, losing another offensive weapon, even if it was expected, doesn’t help when you’re trying to find some momentum.
The Giants are trying to bounce back after taking a loss to the Saints last weekend. With both sides of the ball dealing with significant injuries, this Week 7 game against the Texans is going to be a real test of their depth and resilience. You’ve gotta wonder how they’ll piece it all together with so many key players on the sidelines.
