Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall announced on Instagram that he will have season-ending ankle surgery. This marks yet another devastating setback for the 0-5 Giants. 
In Week 5, the Giants lost four receivers to injury and three of them – Odell Beckham Jr., Dwayne Harris, and Marshall – for the season. Initially, the feeling was that Marshall could return after missing a handful of games, but those hopes have been dashed.
Marshall, who joined the team this offseason, recently found his groove, but he might have played his last game for Big Blue on Sunday. He is under contract through 2018 thanks to his two-year, $12MM deal, but he is afforded little security beyond this season.
At the age of 33, he was eager to prove that he could still produce at a high level. He struggled mightily in the Jets’ offensive quagmire in 2016, but he reeled in 109 catches for 1,502 yards and 14 touchdowns in the previous season.
Marshall’s season ends with 18 catches for 154 yards in five games, including 14 receptions for 112 yards combined in Weeks 3 and 4.
Good grief, talk about a hell of a week 5 for them.
Marshall probably retires after this. He looked washed up anyway. What a mess this team is with a terrible offensive line for the last few years, no running game, and special teamers playing linebacker. They have major cap trouble as well. They were fortunate to win so many close games last year, and had an easier schedule. I think ownership/management put a little too much faith in last season and did not provide any depth, nor add to the offensive line and linebacker positions.
