There are players on the Giants’ roster bubble who may be playing in their final game for a while when they take the field against the Patriots on Thursday night. And then there is Josh Mauro, who knows he will be.
Mauro, a defensive lineman signed by the Giants in the offseason, is facing a four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. That sentence begins over the weekend when the team will make its roster cuts and Mauro will be placed on the suspended list.
“It’s an adjustment,” Mauro said on Monday of his preseason that has been building toward a month of inactivity.
