Some 'state of the offensive line' #Giants hard facts in here: https://nypost.com/2023/10/19/tyre-phillips-giants-return-follows-time-to-focus-and-develop-with-eagles/
- 7 of their initial 9 offensive linemen are dealing with injuries now that left guard Shane Lemieux (one start) is likely out for the season. The 2 healthy OL were previously injured.
- Lemieux (knee, toe, biceps) has played just six total games since showing promise in nine starts as a rookie in 2020.
- 4 offensive lineman have been added to the 53-man roster off of a practice squad — joining Tyre Phillips (#Eagles), Joshua Miles (#Falcons) and Justin Pugh (#NYGiants) — in the last 3 days.
- In the scenario where Pugh, Mark Glowinski, Ben Bredeson, Marcus McKethan and Phillips (left to right) start against #Commanders, the line would have just two Week 1 starters (Glowinski and Bredeson) — neither of whom is in the same position as the season opener.

Dan Duggan has an outstanding article reviewing the decade-long decline of the Giants' offensive line for those who subscribe to the Athletic.

Every year it's the same old story. Offensive line underperforms to the point of being terrible. They spend resources to address it yet nothing works. Entire offensive line and backups go down with injuries.
Can someone list all of the injuries to each player so we can see if there is a common type of injury?

Who has that kind of time?

Ed,
There are many injuries. Worse, the descriptions of the injuries are often vague to the point of being meaningless. So, while your idea is good, the only ones capable of compiling such a list work for the NY Giants.
