New York Giants Walter Thurmond done for year

The New York Giants got off to a good start against the Arizona Cardinals yesterday, but they ended up losing to Drew Stanton and the Arizona Cardinals 25-14 in another disappointing game. Despite two interceptions, Eli Manning actually played well, but it didn’t matter anyway as the Giants lost the running game battle badly, and the -4 turnover differential was quite honestly the difference.

Things don’t get better for the Giants either, as Pro Football Talk reports that talented slot cornerback Walter Thurmond is done for the year with a torn pectoral after PFT initially reported yesterday that Thurmond had suffered a strained pectoral. It’s awful, disappointing news for the Giants, but least they have plenty of talent in the secondary with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Prince Amukamara, and the underrated Turmaine McBride.

Thurmond was only signed to a one-year deal worth just $3.5 million as one of free agency’s biggest bargains, but a stroke of horrible luck will prevent the Giants from benefiting from what was truly a steal of a deal. He’ll hit free agency with another one-year, prove-it type deal likely, because season-ending injuries often aren’t conducive to large contracts. Thurmond is an exceptionally talented cornerback, so it’s hard not to feel terrible for the Giants, who just can’t catch a break, especially with another big offseason signing in Geoff Schwartz on the short-term IR.
