DENVER — Roger Lewis Jr. said he was ready for this scenario.
“I knew one day this would happen,” he said.
This soon? With this team? Those elements made his confidence a little less understandable. Yet there he was Sunday night, the most accomplished wide receiver on the field for the Giants in their game against the Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Him and all of his 15 previous career catches in 18 previous career games.
With the ranks at the position almost completely drained by injuries — Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall having undergone season-ending surgeries, Sterling Shepard out for a while with a sprained ankle, and even Dwayne Harris who would have at least given some veteran experience in the spot also done for the year — it fell to Lewis to be the No.
