Osi Out For The Season
Osi Umenyiora is out for the season with a lateral meniscus tear. This doesn’t sound too good for the Giants who relied on the Michael Strahan/Osi Umenyiora teamwork to build a formidable defense. While it is good to hear that he should recover (the doctors state that it is usually a minimum of four months for a recovery to take place, but it varies based on the individual), I can’t help but think that it bodes pretty well for the other teams (read, Cowboys) to have a fighting chance against them.
