Jameel McClain's neck stinger an ominous injury

While the Giants deal with a number of injuries, the most ominous one seems to be the neck stinger that linebacker Jameel McClain suffered Wednesday. He sat out Thursday's workout and Tom Coughlin said it will be "a while" before he returns.

What he did not add was "if he returns at all," but that could well be the case. McClain's career would seem to be in some jeopardy.

The extent of the damage diagnosed in tests on his neck, McClain's history of neck issues and the Giants' recent experience with such injuries create a cautious approach, Coughlin said.
