WR Domenik Hixon, who was initially was reported to have suffered a hyperextended right knee in yesterday’s workout at the new stadium, actually suffered a torn ACL, which means he’s done for the year.
Hixon, who as a RFA had signed a non-guaranteed one-year tender, will have surgery in 2-3 weeks once the swelling goes down.
With Hixon finished for the year, the Giants will have to find a new punt returner. As of right now, the candidates include Aaron Ross, Sinorice Moss, Andre Brown, Mario Manningham, and Antrel Rolle, all of whom have tken turns returning punts during the OTAs and in the mini camp.
