The Giants will place long snapper Zak DeOssie on season-ending injured reserve Saturday to promote long snapper Colin Holba from the practice squad, a source told The Post.
DeOssie was not at practice or in the locker room Friday because he was getting his knee examined. That exam revealed a torn meniscus, the source said.
“Zak’s been a guy around here who has played at a high level,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “He’s a big-time Giant, and I’m sure he’s played through soreness in his career.”
DeOssie, 35, is a 2007 draft pick, the second-longest-tenured Giant (after Eli Manning) and a two-time Super Bowl champion whose career is now in jeopardy.
