Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo joked during the week that the Giants were so thin at cornerback he might have to play a few snaps against the Rams. They came up with an alternate plan, but it could mean the end of one player’s tenure with the team.
The Giants place C Weston Richburg on injured reserve Saturday with a concussion that has kept him sidelined since Oct. 1. Richburg, a second-round pick in 2014, was once considered to be a cornerstone of the Giants’ rebuilding of their offensive line. Now, as he heads to free agency this offseason, he may have played his final game for the team.
