The New York Giants are down their star linebacker ahead of Week 4. Blake Martinez suffered an ACL tear in Sunday’s loss to Atlanta after overrunning a Falcons ball-carrier.
He’s now out for the season — a huge blow considering Martinez was the team’s leading tackler last year.
The Giants must move forward and could potentially replace Blake with an in-house option such as Reggie Ragland or second-year man Carter Coughlin.
However, the Detroit Lions did just release Jamie Collins; this move was possibly made at the perfect time for Big Blue.
