East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) – The New York Giants officially placed cornerback Prince Amukamara on injured reserve Wednesday, one day after head coach Tom Coughlin said the former first-round pick will miss the rest of the season with a torn biceps.<\/p>\n
Amukamara suffered the injury in Monday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The four-year pro was having a solid season, having tied for the team lead with three interceptions and recording 11 passes defensed along with 45 tackles while starting all eight games.<\/p>\n
The Giants have already had to deal with season-ending injuries to two other cornerbacks, with Walter Thurmond tearing his pectoral in Week 2 and Trumaine McBride dislocating his thumb during the team’s game at Philadelphia on Oct. 12.<\/p>\n
New York filled the available roster spot by claiming cornerback Chykie Brown off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n
Brown appeared in 46 regular-season games — including all 16 in 2012 and 2013 — with two starts over four seasons with the Ravens. The 2011 fifth-round choice was waived by Baltimore on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
