Giants’ Antonio Pierce Out Indefinitely with Bulging Disc, Aaron Ross Back

Pat Hanlon of the New York Giants has reported that linebacker Antonio Pierce is out indefinitely with a bulging disc in his neck. The Giants have ruled Pierce out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. An MRI revealed the bulging disk today. The initial injury dates back to the Giants game against the Cardinals on October 25.

Pierce said in a statement released by the Giants, “I’m shocked with what I heard from the doctors this afternoon. I had no idea that what happened a few weeks ago could keep me off the field. I didn’t think it was that serious. I’m going to do everything the doctors tell me to do so I can get back out on the field as soon as possible.”

Aaron Ross is back and should be active this Sunday. Ross injured his hamstring back in August and has reinjured it a couple of times trying to work back. Ross was practicing as a safety with the second-team defense this week.
