The New York Giants hope they didn't lose more than just an exhibition game to the New York Jets.
Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora was carted off the field with a knee injury in the second quarter of the Giants' 10-7 loss last night. The injury overshadowed a first-half quarterback duel between Brett Favre and Eli Manning that ended up being a penalty-filled snoozer.
The Giants said Umenyiora's left knee "locked up" with 10:48 left in the half on an incomplete pass by Favre on third down. X-rays were negative, but an MRI is planned for today.
Umenyiora had a team-high 13 sacks in earning his second Pro Bowl appearance while leading the Giants' defense in New York's run to the Super Bowl.
