Giants place Strahan on IR

Football Betting Lines

12/26/2006 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan was placed on injured reserve Tuesday because of sprained foot.

Strahan returned to the lineup for this past Sunday's game against New Orleans after missing six games because of a Lis Franc sprain. He aggravated the injury during the 30-7 loss and will not play in the regular-season finale against Washington or the playoffs, if the Giants qualify.

The Pro Bowl lineman was first hurt during the second quarter of a November 5 game against Houston. He had five tackles against the Saints before leaving the contest.

Strahan, in his 14th season with the Giants, finished the year with just three sacks, his fewest since he registered one as a rookie in 1993.

The Giants also placed offensive tackle Luke Petitgout and kick returner Chad Morton on IR.

Petitgout suffered a broken leg on November 12 against Chicago and the Giants finally decided he would not be able return to his left tackle slot before the end of the season.

Morton, meanwhile, sustained a torn left ACL during this past Sunday's game against the Saints. It was determined that he will need surgery.

The Giants filled the three roster spots by signing wide receiver Darius Watts and tight end Darcy Johnson from their own practice squad, and running back Robert Douglas from the Houston Texans' practice squad.
