Giants OL Shane Lemieux (toe) heading to IR

The New York Giants are placing offensive lineman Shane Lemieux on season-ending injured reserve, coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday. Lemieux, 25, missed the first nine games following surgery to repair a preseason toe injury. He was activated for a Week 11 game against the Detroit Lions but promptly re-injured the toe and has not returned to the lineup. After playing in 12 games (nine starts) as a rookie fifth-round draft pick in 2020, Lemieux has appeared in only two games over the past two seasons. He missed 16 games in 2021 with a knee injury. --Field Level Media
