CINCINNATI - Jayron Hosley is the next man up at cornerback for the Giants. And that in itself is a big step forward.
Last year when the Giants secondary was so ravaged by injuries that they were bringing players in off the street to fill the roster, Hosley still couldn't get on the field. There would be cornerbacks who had participated in just a week's worth of practice out there playing, and Hosley would be on the sideline, buried at the bottom of a not very deep depth chart. The former third-round pick was a bust, having served a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy and never quite being able to play the slot cornerback role in which the Giants tried to use him.
