Whats even more brutal for him is it may be career threatening.

Just out of curiosity, who are some of you picking up in his place?

I took Elam for him last week (before Phillips last - and very productive game). The whole reason I made that move last week was because word out of NY was that he was hurt last week. I jumped the gun a week early and lost a week's production...but Elam should post decent tackle stats so long as he holds down his position.

Update from a couple days ago:

Sounds good to me.

(KFFL) Paul Schwartz, of the New York Post, reports New York Giants FS Kenny Phillips (knee) is still at least a month away from attempting to run; however, Phillips said his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury is going smoothly. Phillips has targeted the OTA practices in May for his return. "I feel real good, everything feels strong, so I should be all-in by OTAs," Phillips said in an interview on the team's Web site.

So does Aaron Rouse have any chance at keeping his FS spot for the Giants? He was a pleasant surprise at the end of the year last year.

He may, depending on what they do with Phillips, I think if he is healthy Phillips is a starter and then whoever wins the other position. It seems to me the Giants use both safeties similarly, so even though one is designated SS and one FS, I think they both have a chance for tackles and big plays.

With all the money they paid for Rolle...if Kenny comes back Rouse drops back to a backup I would think.

 

[Deadman31]

Rouse got released last week.

 

[houndirish]

I don't care how rosy a picture they're painting for his rehab, if he isn't even able to run yet I can't imagine him being a fantasy differencemaker for the upcoming season.

Anyone have an idea about the Deon Grant signing? Is this a strong signal Phillips won't be ready? Or is this more a depth move? Thoughts?

FRom what I have heard this is more of a safety valve and depth and that Phillips is coming along nicely. Not like Grant is some kind of superstar and would he even be better than Micheal Johnson.

 

[Bri]

bumping this since the Gmen drafted a safety

Can we start a new thread (or rename this thread) called "Kenny Phillips - 2010 Offseason Recovery" or something?

Every time I come into the IDP forum and see Kenny Phillips out for season, my stomach sinks for a split-second.

And yes, I realize that I'm perpetuating the issue by responding to this thread myself...ha!

 

[werdnoynek]

last i heard (a couple of weeks ago) phillips was saying if he had to play today he could. i guess he was cleared to run in straight lines a month ago and is ahead of schedule with the rehabbing thus far. pretty good news imo.

as far as the gmen drafting chad jones, i wouldn't be too concerned as a phillips owner. phillips is first round talent and will play if he can. imo they're just adding depth, which they didn't have when phillips went out last season. more of a precaution than a need.

ETA - we could just change the title of the thread.

 

[DesmondBishop]

Thank you to the mod that fixed the thread title.

It seems much more positive now.

 

[netnalp]

I think it was one of the coaches or the GM that hinted that Chad Jones may play at nickel LB this year, because he can cover better than a LB and hits like one too.

 

[falcoatl]

What is his status right now?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

What is his status right now?

Limited practice starting earlier this week.

 

[Jestefarean]

OMG...read the first post and choked until i realized it was from last year.

 

[falcoatl]

Any chance of being ready week 1?
