The Giants have lose starting linebacker Antonio Pierce indefinitely with a bulging disc in his neck.  This hurts the Giants’ D really bad as Pierce is the leading tackler on the team.  In 9 games this season Pierce has 55 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble and he has defensed 3 passes.  26-year old Chase Blackburn will replace Pierce in the starting lineup.  He has played in all 9 games for the Giants this season and he has 35 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 1/2 a sack. 

UPDATE:  The Giants have placed Antonio Pierce on I.R. ending his season.
