GIANTS:RB DJ Ware (concussion); OL Guy Whimper; OL Adam Koets; S Michael Johnson (groin); WR Sinorice Moss; WR Ramses Barden; TE Travis Beckum (groin); CB D.J. Johnson
Beckum came out of Friday's practice with an injured groin that apparently was concerning enough to prompt the Giants to sign TE Bear Pascoefrom their practice squad just in case Beckum didn't improve. Now that he can't go for this week, Pascoe will be the third tight end, behind Kevin Boss and Darcy Johnson.
Now for the lineup changes: The team has made it official, announcing that DE Mathias Kiwanuka will start in place of Osi Umenyiora. I'll try to keep an eye on how many obvious running plays Umenyiora gets.
Chris Canty will get his first start as a Giant, fittingly against his former teammates. he'll replace Fred Robbins at defensive tackle.
Jonathan Goffis confirmed as the starter at MLB over Chase Blackburn.
LB Bryan Kehl is expected to play the pseudo nickel linebacker spot instead of CC Brown. Brown, meanwhile, is going to start in place of Michael Johnson at safety.
DALLAS: QB Stephen McGee(3rd QB); FS Ken Hamlin ; DB Cletis Gordon; LB Jason Williams ; G Montrae Holland; C Duke PReston; T Marc Columbo; and DE Curtis Johnson
