Giants LB Arrington tears Achilles tendon
NFL.com wire reports
IRVING, Texas (Oct. 23, 2006) -- New York Giants linebacker LaVar Arrington likely is out for the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon in the second quarter against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants also lost defensive end Osi Umenyiora for the game with a strained hip. He went down late in the second quarter, returned for the start of the third but lasted only one play. He was helped back to the locker room, with the team saying he wouldn't return.
Arrington was hurt chasing down Dallas' Julius Jones on a running play. Arrington ended up on the turf in obvious pain, with doctors calling for a motorized cart to get him to the locker room.
Arrington was among the reasons the Giants took a 12-7 halftime lead, having sacked Dallas quarterback Drew Bledsoe in the end zone for a safety in the first quarter. It was one of four sacks for New York to that point; Umenyiora had one, too.
Arrington is in his first season with New York after playing six years for Washington. The safety was his first sack with the Giants.
The Giants also played the second half without cornerback Frank Walker, who strained a hamstring.

My guess is that Short moves over to SLB, then Emmons moves back into the WLB spot if he is healthy. If Emmons isn't healthy then Wilkerson might take over but there is also Torbor that will get into the mix somehow. This unit is becoming very weak quickly.

Reggie Torbor filled in last night, although I think it's unlikely he stays in the starting lineup. I wouldn't be surprised to see Brandon Short move over to SLB if Carlos Emmons is healthy enough to play this week. He played SLB for the Giants in 2002 and 2003 and for the Panthers last season. Carlos Emmons also has experience on the strongside for the Giants. He played a few games there last year before moving over to the weak side midseason. He has seemed to establish himself on the weak side before his pec injury last season and again this year so he may return to WLB.No official word yet, though.
