Giants place David Baas on IR
By Dan Graziano | ESPNNewYork.com
The New York Giants placed starting center David Baas on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday due to a knee injury he suffered in Monday night's victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
Baas has endured a rough season, to say the least. He missed the season opener with a knee injury, returned to start in Weeks 2 and 3, injured his neck in the Week 3 loss to Carolina, missed the following three games with that injury, then returned to start Monday only to injure his knee on the opening drive and not return.
Baas became the second Giants starting offensive lineman to land on injured reserve this season, joining right guard Chris Snee.
'I really feel like I can't catch a break,' Baas said after Monday night's game. 'It's definitely frustrating.'
Jim Cordle, who has filled in for Baas at center over the past month, is likely to take over as the starting center for the remainder of the season.
Baas' time with the Giants is likely over, as he carries a cap number of $8.225 million for 2014 and $8.475 million for 2015 and was already almost certain to be cut in the offseason for financial reasons. The Giants likely will need to fill several positions on the offensive line on next spring's market via free agency, the draft or both.
No corresponding roster move was immediately announced.
