    Injured Hixon let go by Giants

    By Ohm Youngmisuk

    The New York Giants waived wide receiver Domenik Hixon, who recently underwent surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament, on Thursday afternoon.

    The team then signed wide receiver Adam Jennings, a 2006 sixth-round pick of Atlanta.

    Hixon underwent surgery 10 days ago after suffering a season-ending knee injury during the team's first practice on the new turf at the New Meadowlands Stadium last month.

    If Hixon clears waivers, however, the Giants are expected to place the popular wide receiver on injured reserve.

    The Giants have been searching for a returner to replace Hixon, who was the team's best punt and kickoff returner. Sinorice Moss, Mario Manningham and Aaron Ross are still candidates to become the team's punt returner.

    I'd grab him and put him on the IR for next year

    Hixon is a good return man, decent receiver, super bowl champion, and former Akron Zips star. Sign him, even if he has to sit out this year. He could be our #3 WR behind MoMass and Mitchell, so Cribbs doesn't need to.

  • He is on injury waivers. Said on Sirius Blitz today that it is highly unlikely another team will claim his waivers.

  • It's considered a breach of protocol to claim a guy off of injury waivers, like the Jaguars did to us last year with Don Carey.

    The Browns could claim him, but it'd eliminate any opportunity of doing business with the Giants ever again.

    I like Hixon, but I don't think he's worth the blowback that claiming him would cause.

  • Wasn't Matt Roth coming off of injury waivers from the Dolphins?

    I think this is a little different situation, Carey was a rookie late round draft pick, you wouldnt expect someone to claim him. Hixon could be a viable starter and I would expect the Giants released knowing there's a good chance he would be claimed.

    Um, what about Robiskie, he has been having a great offseason by all reports, and will be our No2 WR this year.

    Anyways, I dont want him, we are young there right now sure, but I dont think that when he comes back to full health he will be any better than anything we got.
