Dwayne Harris To Miss Rest Of Season

The Giants’ wide receivers endured one of the more brutal injury days to affect one position group in NFL history on Sunday, with four players leaving the game due to injury. Two of those players suffered severe injuries.

In addition to Odell Beckham Jr. fracturing a fibula, Dwayne Harris broke his foot and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.

Harris has functioned as Big Blue’s kick returner since the 2015 season, when he signed with the Giants after a Cowboys tenure. He’s also served as a backup wide receiver for the Giants, who are suddenly in desperate need of those after both Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard left the team’s Week 5 outing. Roger Lewis was the only pure wideout left, and with the Giants only carrying five wide receivers, a slew of roster moves may be required to field a receiving corps next week against the Broncos.

The 30-year-old Harris finished as a Pro Bowl return man for the Giants last season. He’s returned both kicks and punts for the team since arriving, taking a kick and a punt back for touchdowns in 2015.
