The Giants have surprisingly cut linebacker Blake Martinez with the regular-season opener just 10 days away.
Martinez was set to be the team’s top inside linebacker after missing much of last year with a torn ACL, which he suffered in Week 3. General manager Joe Schoen, who didn’t even sign Martinez in the first place, was even willing to restructure his contract in the offseason to keep him in New York.
The veteran missed Wednesday’s practice due to a personal reason and also wasn’t named a team captain for this year, despite the Giants naming 10 of them.
