New York Giants news, 11/29 – Giants preparing to let go of two longest tenured players

The New York Giants saw numerous players take Wednesday’s practice off due to injuries, including Evan Engram (foot), Rhett Ellison (concussion), Jabrill Peppers (back), Golden Tate (concussion), and veteran long-snapper, Zak DeOssie (wrist/knee).

DeOssie, who’s the longest-tenured player on the Giants alongside Eli Manning, could be in the final year of his career with the Giants. That would leave Janoris Jenkins as the most tenured player.

The Giants will likely put DeOssie on injured reserve, ending his season at 2-9. This would finalize his tenure in New York and guarantee his retirement from the NFL. Last weekend against the Chicago Bears in week 12, DeOssie had a disastrous snap, rolling the ball back to the place-holder and forcing a missed kick by Aldrick Rosas.
