The New York Giants suffered a major defensive blow after it was announced that linebacker Tremaine Edmunds will miss the rest of the season after tearing a chest muscle. Before the injury, Edmunds had played every defensive snap for the Giants this year.
This was Edmunds' first season with New York after signing a three-year, $36 million contract in the offseason. He previously spent the past three years with the Chicago Bears and five years before that with the Buffalo Bills .

Edmunds already has 50 tackles this year, putting him on track for a career-high 142. He also has two sacks this year, tying his season high, along with three tackles for loss and three quarterback hits.
New York leads their division but faces the Houston Texans on Sunday, who are on a two-game winning streak after starting the year 0-4. The Giants have now lost their top playmaker on both sides of the ball after losing starting quarterback Jaxson Dart in Week 2.
