Giants’ Jon Halapio is all the way back from rock bottom

ARLINGTON, Texas — There were no guarantees Jon Halapio would ever again suit up for the Giants, ever again find a place in the starting lineup, ever again line up against the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, site of his greatest football misery.

Halapio was loaded onto a cart midway through the third quarter of a Week 2 Giants road loss to the Cowboys last season, his lower right leg ankle fractured after getting rolled over by a teammate, running back Wayne Gallman, and an opponent, linebacker Jaylon Smith. Halapio shed tears as he was taken away and recalls that dark day as the loneliest he has felt in his life.
