Giant concern: Protecting Manning vs. Watt, Texans

Already saddled with a beleaguered offensive line that left Manning under frequent duress last Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, the Giants added injury to insult by placing starting center Jon Halapio on injured reserve after he suffered fractures in his lower leg and ankle in the third quarter of their seventh loss in eight games. The Giants (0-2) replaced Halapio, who started six games at right guard in 2017, with 11-year veteran John Greco. Greco spent his first three seasons with the then-St. Louis Rams before playing six years with the Cleveland Browns prior to signing with the Giants last November.
